It's a propaganda site for the most part, yes. That's why we have to build decent sites and communities.

Find me a decent I.T. person and the rest can be facilitated and managed fairly. Not just one site or instance, but many that would be decentralized, federated, and networked together.

Feel free to throw money at me too if you like, but a solid tech guru is what I/we need to make it happen. Preferably in Windsor, but if trustworthy online would suffice.

Find me a decent I.T. person and..

A decent it person is going to tell you that the first step in designing a website is to establish a team that will sit down and design the flow of the site. Too many amateurs think that what they need is a programmer, when in fact what they need is a team that can design the flow of the of the site and then and only then do the programmers start building the various modules.

Divided you will fail.

I'd agree but we're not coding a site. We'd be setting up established platform instances. With them up and running we'd assemble a trusted team to start hammering out the charter, goals, roadmap, rules, guides, documentation, and FOTPACHIES management (fair, open, transparent, peaceful, accountable, consistent, honest, inclusive, ethical, social management) with inclusive ways the community at large can weigh in on their management. Call that social flow if you like. Unifying.

I always find it interesting that beginners in the development business always think that they can bypass the planning stage they think they can bypass forming a team and sitting down and planning things they think they're just going to start hammering away at it and you know what it doesn't usually work out very well that way.

I've been coding for 40 years, maybe I know.

Either way best wishes

I'm not in software development. Stop suggesting that I am. And I am planning, organizing, etc.

If you want to code some solutions, do so.

Just some of my subs (not counting the ones I've given up) that touch on organizing communications:

I'll see if I can at least throw money to help you out eventually but damn man I've been rather unlucky recently...

Find webmaster first, set up sites, then money.

Maybe settle for centralized...

Maybe settle for centralized...

Maybe settle for tyranny.

What's your honest opinion of what Mastodon is doing, Jason?

[–]JasonCarswellMental Orgy 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

Not sure what you're referring to.

[–]hfxB0oyA 3 insightful - 3 fun3 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 3 fun -  (1 child)

They're decentralized /federated. I'm just wondering if you see that as a workable framework for the sort of thing you want to do.

[–]JasonCarswellMental Orgy 2 insightful - 3 fun2 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

Yes. I'm not a fan of (or used to) Mastodon's GUI. Also federated: Lemmy (Reddit-like), PeerTube (YouTube-like), Movim (Facebook/Messenger-like), YaCy (search), etc etc etc. /s/Cassy

Ironically a lot of the federated communities are extremely woke, boxing out the deplorables, but there are some free-thinkers networking and we need more.

I'd like to get a bunch of these set up on a bunch of boxes and spread them around my city for freedom and prepper group. I can organize and facilitate it but I'm not a I.T. guru.

[–]hfxB0oyA 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

Isn't one of the guys here doing just this? Or is it you who's got that as a side project?

[–]JasonCarswellMental Orgy 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

I wish. Let me know if you find one that isn't all talk.
