      I’d go even further and say: A platform where you can share any type of media (text, pictures, video, 3d models, …) but with threads and forum like comments as seen on lemmy or reddit. Each instance could then limit the upload size up to a certain limit or even use a decentralized type of storage like IPFS or something similar.

      Also I’d love to emphasize user based moderation/curation. I’d love to have a platform where you can see everything without any censorship but there are easy ways to filter the content locally using user built presets or just a very granular configuration.

      And last but not least: Single Sing On. ActivityPods is already in development so I hope all the best.

    I’d really like to see some client-API consolidation. A common client API that could efficiently handle both “microblog” style and threaded discussions (lemmy etc) and leave the door open for other discussion formats too. This would allow for clients/frontends to flourish even more and backends could compete on features and efficiency. The backend specific features could be expressed through an extension mechanism of the common API.

      I feel like something like that would need to be discussed at the standards level; a common API spec could maybe be issued as an extension of the current ActivityPub standard. Call it “CommonSocial”, or something.

    A wiki with strong moderation tools, and gnupg signed/verified text built into it from the start.

    An activitypub method to keep git repos in sync automatically.

    A small blog type tool that’s used as a replacement for facebook. It would have a hosted “gathering” component that is always online, then when you open your local app, it pulls down all your stuff.

    Shared secrets like a distributed KeePass or Bitwarden.

    Distributed home directory and/or development environments.

    Something like the useful bits from KeyBase. I really wanted keybase to be something that could support this use case: Alice@foo gets a dev job at Bar. Her ID is added to the cool_project@bar group and automatically she has access to all the group’s big bug tracking, file shares, wiki, git repos, group chats, etc. Her joining the group is recorded in a permanent record, which can be publicly or privately annotated by people specifically allowed by the group she joined. It’d become an automatic resume.
