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:
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.
Bandcamp
There is at least one https://simonrepp.com/faircamp/
Is it federated? Or is it just a solo version for anybody who wants their own solo bandcamp?
AFAIK it is in beta but developer planned or already implemented federation. If I'm wrong, I think @freebliss could correct me.
@TadeuszBonawentura @z3rOR0ne @small44 It's more the "your own solo bandcamp" thing to paraphrase @sentient_loom. From the technical side, given it's a static site generator, it can not technically act as a server for anything, including federation. It could act as an activity pub client technically, but it's an open research question how that could be interesting. So for now no plans and no implementation, but I'm keeping tabs on ActivityPub and at least thinking about possible directions.
Uber, Uber Eats (similar to Wolt)
federated linkedin would be baller and would take so much pain out of the job application process, and i never even thought of that before. yeah, of course its still ran by filthy capitalists, but it would save a ton of time for job applications
Tiktok Youtube (there is peertube but it's not as popular as YouTube)
Wattpad, tho itβs not a social media
Google search. I want a way of finding stuff based on everyone's tag suggestions, like a booru, but distributed.
Wikipedia.
There is a nostr app working on this. It's not very far along but it's an interesting idea https://wikistr.com/
VRChat
LinedUp

The LinkedIn for coke dealers
A yt alternative that worked for content creators to be able to live off it.
How? I'm not sure.
Fediverse patreon, seems reasonnable, but they'd have to swallow using monero
I'm not sure if you would classify this as a "social media platform", but imagine a federated MMO. Each server could specify its own rules for things like XP and drops, allow or disallow mods among its playerbase, or even have custom items and quests - but in certain areas (ie "in town") all of this stuff would be disabled so that players from multiple different servers could all interact. You could choose a server based on whether you like a high pop or a low pop experience, temporarily try other servers out by partying up with someone from it, major guilds could run their own servers with their own events and stuff, and so on. Admins would want to defederate from poorly-moderated servers, servers with cheaters or with mods/rules that they think disrupt the experience they're after, or whatever other reason.
