Pretty much in the title. Maybe you wouldn’t even use it, but would like to simply see it exist for the sake of having a federated alternative.

For me, it’d be the following:

  • LinkedIn
  • Meetup
  • Tiktok

I am on the first two, but would prefer a federated alternative. I’m not on Tiktok, but would like to see a federated alternative.

I’ll admit these might not be a good idea. But as a thought experiment, I’d be curious about the community weigh in on what you all think this might look like.

      I certainly can moderate comments; I am the admin of the Mastodon server in question.

      What wouldn’t work so well is to host comments on someone else’s Mastodon server, so it’s not a good fit for a low-tech/low-overhead site. There’s definitely a space for something with a lower barrier to entry, but I don’t think it fits well with the nonprofit, community-oriented approach to servers running most of the fediverse. Those users would be best served by a commercial subscription service.
