Pretty much in the title. Maybe you wouldn't even use it, but would like to simply see it exist for the sake of having a federated alternative.

For me, it'd be the following:

  • LinkedIn
  • Meetup
  • Tiktok

I am on the first two, but would prefer a federated alternative. I'm not on Tiktok, but would like to see a federated alternative.

I'll admit these might not be a good idea. But as a thought experiment, I'd be curious about the community weigh in on what you all think this might look like.

Fuck yeah, thank you. I went to check up meetup and it was like 90% liberal "how to be your own boss" "how to pay taxes on cypto" shit. I clicked on one that looked kinda neutral and the first thing I saw was the speaker bragging about being on, I kid you not, capitalism .com. Can't even make this shit up. Also as a nice little bonus they had a tab just for conservatism but nothing even related to socialism. Fuck that place.

EDIT: I checked it out and it seems primarily focused on French language and severely underpopulated by English stuff. I'll have to check it out again in about a year and see if it's going to be another mastodon situation because there just isn't enough on offer at the moment.

EDIT2: And I tried to make an account but it said my email was already in use. I emailed the instance admins to let them know.
