I have a decent website I’ve been working on. It has some neat features that are still being developed.
It is a full blown social media site.
-100mb posting (30-60 second videos max) -Music posting -Picture posting -poll posting -tagging -Flows similar to instagram
It has a similar layout to Tumblr but also has a decent direct messaging system. It has custom profiles, and is available on the Google play store.
Instead of having to deal with people complaining about content moderation and antisemitism I figure I could just federalize it and allow people to set up their own instance. On my instance though I like it to be more loose with the free speech. If anyone is interested in this site or would like a copy, drop a like on this post. That way I can gauge interest. If a lot of people do like the feel of the software, I am considering open sourcing it. I don’t know I guess I’ll just see if anyone likes the look of it.
Flaws: It has a Captcha system to keep out bots

Open source it first, then I’m interested.
If I licensed the software to people for free, but in return asked for a 20% royalty on ads served would people do it? Any ads bought on your instance you would get 80% of the sale, and to keep paying for the development of Tiblur I would take 20% from all the instances. Any ads bought on the main instance would be 100% me obviously. The ads would appear Facebook style in feed. There’s a reason Facebook is king in the advertising world, it’s because no one likes YouTube’s 3 second ad routine every video. People would rather scroll over a post in feed.
Man i dont think u quite understand or on lemmy a federated foss environment with no ads. Usually when advertising as u are u have something to offer people that they want. What are u offering us that the rest of the fediverse doesnt have.
So…
It’s almost a year old, people keep talking about 4chan, and the top posts of “all time” are homophobic and low-key racist…

Why would normal people go there instead of Lemmy? And why would homophobic racists go there instead of 4chan?
You’re promoting your closed source, non activitypub platform on Lemmy. Good luck with that, I’ll give it a free, federated downvote.
do what socialhome is doing (activitypub + diaspora)
