I use FB because my family is on their.

My feed is almost entirely not my family, but “suggested” posts, and it made me realize I really hope something becomes popular to replace FB next and my family moves there.

What type of site do you hope becomes popular on the fediverse next?

    I’d really like for PeerTube to take off, especially with how YouTube/Google seem to be escalating the war on adblockers.

      They are escalating n paying customers too…

      Imagine paying 15 bucks for something having their shit shoved up your ass without consent, audio is compressed junk. They turn off 4k randomly etc…

      They don’t pay for any content really either just serving ads to plebs and booking profits… How are they not making money?

        Honestly, the only thing about YouTube that pisses me off as a paying subscriber is that even though I pay for no ads…every fucking video has at least one “sponsor call-out” (aka: ad) that I have to manually skip.

          Nah but see, that directly supports the creator making the content you’re watching… It’s annoying, yes, but at least you can skip over it immediately instead of having forced ads shoved in your face so Google can make an extra buck

      Oh please I hope so.

      It’s so frustrating how many youtube creators have to play stupid games just to make it so that their own subscribers see their videos. If I’m subscribed, I wanna see on my home screen when a new video is added by someone I’m subscribed too. I don’t wanna see clickbait_master_10,000’s newest video on there. Like there are so many content creators with millions of subs, who get no views because the aLgOrItHm decided people don’t wanna see their videos, even though all those people subbed to them.

    I really want to see federated wiki system, just because of how awful Fandom is and the independent wikis are all super spread out.

      I really hate how interwiki navigation sucks on Fandom. Like, they’ve done all this branding and centralizing of the Fandom platform, yet I’m pretty sure they only fairly recently started logging you in on all wikis whenever you signed in on one.

      Its all just to try and be some hip pop culture thing for use to “consoom” without any effort to actually take advantage of being a central platform for the repository of lore from across culture.

        So imagine if you can sign in to one of the independent wiki and can edit/comment/link to copy on all federated pages.

        So there doesn’t need to be a Nintendo wiki, but a federation of Zelda/Mario/Kirby etc.

        (Yes I know Nintendo Independent Wiki Association is a thing, but it’ll be easier on them if they have software level federation.)

          this would be cool, but I could see it causing issues for places like Memory Alpha, which have a really strict and well-defined manual of style and acceptable references. I frequently see things on other wikis that you’d never see on Wookiepedia, Tardis Data Core, and/or Memory Alpha, like fanart embedded in articles, links to YouTube videos, incomplete drafts without proper tagging, etc.

          EDIT: Conversely I could really see it benefiting the smaller wikis, especially ones with lots of overlap with each other (all the various Marvel/DC wikis, the specific Clone Wars wiki separate from the main Star Wars one, etc)

      I mean I think it’s popular enough to be usable at least! Which is the biggest problem with new social media, all the features in the world mean nothing if there is a small user base.

    Pixelfed is working on stories which I’m really excited about. I love that kind of daily watch to catch up without posting on a feed that is always there. I think I’ve found myself hoping for a fully fleshed out discord replacement as well. Easy to manage servers with categories and channels, roles and permissions, etc.

    i just want to see a bunch of random visualizers and shaders, generative art gifs blasted in my face like the old /r/woahdude

      There is Funkwhale that you can use for self-publishing music. You can also upload your music library privately to listen to remotely.

    I actually wrote a prototype for an IPFS-based FB replacement. It… kinda worked. I could get posts to share some of the time, but I reached a point where I realized I’d need to rip out a bunch of my backend and start over to fix it and I just didn’t have it in me at that time.

    Since then, however, a new IPFS framework has come out that’ll replace a lot of the crappy code I’d written for interfacing with IPFS. I’m thinking of blowing off the dust and trying again.
