Distributed textboards and imageboards?

1 2021-01-20 19:51

Have people begun implementing an anonymous board which has distributed storage/moderation/channels? The fediverse community are beginning to thrive but I still want to be an anon with no life. It hurts when I can only talk to IT nerds here.

Some anon on /g/ was just advertising their federated imageboard that runs on ActivityPub. They're running a couple of test instances at https://fchan.xyz/ and https://0x00000000.xyz/.

You're looking at screenshots of Thunderbird, what did you expect?

Activitypub is worse than nntp but can barely work, after a fuckton of effort, unlike nntp. I thought the activitypub imageboard federation died four years ago.

Admin-anon will make it better. /prog/ anons will contribute code. Once code is stable other anons will host instances. I will advocate for free software on /g/. The cycle continues.

They have no idea what their doing, lmao.

Speaking of moderation, fchan cannot be posted on /g/ anymore.
It is being (auto)moderated as the post get created.
I guess they dont allow open source projects that are similar to their platform. Or this particular mod is in fact a faggot.
As this platforms develops ill share it more on other fediverse platfroms like pleroma instances and mastadon instances.

They're getting better but not by much, the communities they are advertising to won't use this shit for long. Atleast the data will be shared across the network even if there's only 2-3 anons using it.

are these auto-expiring imageboards where threads disappear like in 4chan?
If yes, they're just chat with graphics.

What's the point of a new site if it's used by the same imbeciles that visit /g/?

Now there is hope!

If yes, let those data horders create an archive board.

Distributed moderation is typically a bit tricky. From what I've seen this most often results in a site for the intellectual least common denominator. Maybe NNTP style blacklists work, but I have my doubts.

If moderation only means text folding and mosaic mask then I'm totally fine.
