@maikelMaikel 🇪🇺 🇪🇸 thank youl. I am fascinated by this intersection between social and technical, and the ability to collaborate at scale in grassroots environments to make that be more seamless.
@smallcircles🫧 socialcoding.. I think you and I have some common goals. I was doing this over Christmas, then stopped because I realised I didn't want to build one for just LGBTQ+ but any minorities (eg: AuDHD). I want any minority to be able to support their own while at the same time, share a "town square".
Non-negotiables
1. Federated and decentralised tech.
2. Opt-in network-wide discovery without centralisation of an index (this is the hard one).
3. Protection in places where we're beheaded for existing (strong e2e is a must and sharing data like absolute location coordinates is a definite NO).
