Has anyone here ever heard of some alternative social media services
like identi dot ca and pump dot io ?
Aren't Mastodon (Twitter alt) and / or Lemmy (Reddit alt) federated
social media services that have been fairly popular** lately?
I haven't heard identi.ca mentioned in a decade and had no idea they
used "pump" or even existed.
Any thoughts on these, or how other ones compare?
Never tried any of them, but have landed on some Mastodon posts about
the xz-utils hack. It seems to have a nice layout.
What's missing is the network effect.
Is this better for an
online or in person meeting?
I don't think any of the services mentioned support audio / video
conferencing nor real-time desktop sharing. Could be wrong.
And, how would it even work for in person meetings?
I'm fond of self-hosted Nextcloud instances with the built-in Talk app
for all the Zoom / Jitsi functionality.
** for some definition of "popular"
