What's an idea you have that should be an actual thing? (lemmy.world)

Tourist cities should have hotel rooms by the hour that are actually clean when you just want to take a nap.

Actually... a Fediverse OK Cupid clone could totally be a thing... runs away to ponder

I think this might want a clean sheet design. At least as I understand it, there are issues with privacy in the fediverse/activitypub vis-a-vis non-public messages. I think it's also an area where, in order to go the most good, you'd want simple signups and easy engagement (to say nothing of being able to trust that your info has been deleted when you delete it).

Clearly, I'm here and I value the philosophical underpinnings of the fediverse, but I think it might not be the best fit for dating.

That said, if you feel like you can solve those problems, you'd be doing a world of good if you're right.

I feel like we can figure this out with end to end encryption.

Idk, isn't something like OKC like... literally the opposite use case from what ActivityPub/The Fediverse was built to solve?
