A lot of people have been looking for a #
FacebookAlternative and we are pretty close to launching several of them with, what we hope, are catchy domain names. It will be based on @
Hubzilla and @
Neuhub, although each site may have a different unique theme. (For those who don't know, Hubzilla is fully theme-able, and you can change the appearance drastically.)
Status Update: We are working out the legal documents, such as privacy policy, terms of service, and community rules. The first drafts are already done.
Hosting is already set up for the servers we intend on launching first, such as Loves.Tech, Conversation.Space, and Forums.Cafe.
We need to make some final tweaks to the Neuhub themes we will be using. We want to provide an experience that is easy for new users to adapt to. The themes that we will be using on these sites will be very different than the default Hubzilla theme called Redbasic.
And then all that is left is setting up a way to take donations so we have funds to grow and maintain the servers. We will probably start with an optional annual membership fee. We won't track users, won't sell your data, and won't show ads, so we need a revenue source that will cover the costs. We have written the code for this, and need to do some final testing to make sure everything works as expected. We will also be offering Managed Hosting for those who want the same software, but on their own domain name.
A lot of work behind the scenes, but we are getting very close to a #
fediverse launch.
