@dansup it seems like lemmy can be that with the right skin. We also really need a federated alternative to github. Gitea is partway there but thinking also about how github is sort of a linkedin for programmers.

๐š๐š“๐š 

@grishka @dansup what else is there other than gitea and codeberg?

๐š๐š“๐š 

@grishka @dansup ah interesting. It looks like that's also in the process. Are all three of these going to federate with each other? I would love to move off of gh and gl once that happens.

@thomasjwebb @grishka @dansup forgje is a fork of gitea maintained by codeberg. And they are working on federation.

@grishka @thomasjwebb @dansup I feel as if git is already the federated github.

It's missing some features. But other VCS are adding issue lists, etc.

@dansup isn't that Lemmy?

I would like to have a federated LinkedIn with job board that federates the job listings.

@dansup There's Codidact (codidact.org), but I don't know if it's federated.

@dansup
And if they now use ChatGPT, one would be morally allowed to scrape all the data that is there to migrate on the new thing.

@dansup does stackoverflow really have anything that the other link aggregators / ranked forums like lemmy or kbin don't other than an automod closing functionality if you don't have enough karma and the ability for a thread's OP to pin a reply?

I don't know about federated, but there is one run by a not-for-profit, using open source software, which I've switched to.

@dansup I can't see why it can't be a telegram group with topics and hashtags , so why not federated #telegram ( it #Matrix) where op actually controls their content
About the modding, yes there re admins , who can create topics , privileges can be voted in or out

@dansup there used to be a full-blown (non-federated) remake of Stackoverflow in a GH project. Firing it up would give nearly the same UI and a whole bunch of the gamification features.

I was only mildly interested at the time, and did not star or anything. Later on, seeing "federated SO" thread for the N-th time I tried to find it again on multiple occasions. No luck, unfortunately.

Such project would be a great basis to add #ActivityPub to.

As for the idea: codeberg.org/fediverse/fediver ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

@dansup Yes. After Bandcamp.

I had an online discussion about a Federated-Yelp that raised some interesting points that might apply to SO as well -- How do you โ€œfederateโ€ the features that DONโ€™T fit into the standard social media formulae? Things like โ€œaccepted answersโ€ might only work on a centralized server.

Also, this might fall under the threaded discussion WG. Iโ€™d love to talk in more detail if youโ€™re ever interested.

@dansup a giant webring of "here's how I solved X" technical blog posts, maybe?

Juan Luis

@dansup Why?

On Mastodon, I cannot see the full conversation, only the posts my server knows about.

On a federated SO, would I see only the answers my server knows about? How can I know I'm looking at the best then?

What's the point of decentralizing questions, which have just one "most correct" answer?

Dan Neuman

@dansup The problem with doing that to avoid ChatGPT *et al* is that all they have to do is build their own server and federate. They can then scrape every answer.

However, it would be nice to have a non-corporate system. Painful to rebuild Stack Overflow's database.
