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:
- 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.
youtube would be a big one.
big creators could run a bot which just uploads their videos on it.
although monetization would be a difficult one, FOSS users aren’t fond of subscriptions. (at least that’s my impression)
made even worse by the insane costs of video hosting/streaming.
Is there any way to be able to search in all peertube instances at once in the search bar like in Lemmy, rather than having to access each instance separately?
Federated YouTube:

Gitlab. It isn’t a social network but federating instances could be really powerful if done right.
I think Gitea is working on this, but I have no idea what the current status is
There’s Forgejo :)
GitLab is working on federation last I checked.
Don’t think we could get something as fully featured as GitLab to be federated but a semi-social and distributed code host would be cool. I think there are such things on Tor or I2P networks.
Pinterest, their recommendation algorithm is so good , and scary the more you learn about tech and how things can be used against you, it’s impossible to take advantage of that service without letting it learn more about you ( based on your saved pins and interactions ), it’s just how it works, and it works it’s just there’s no transparency or ethics involved, they sell your data
So a FOSS alternative would be awesome, there’s Pinry but it’s self hosted
Shopify.
