Was sitting on a flixbus today trying to sketch out the bounds for what is and is not in place for a fediverse "dating" app. I dont think dating is really the right frame of reference but its the closest social phenomenon of apps mediating in person 1x1 meetings.
Discussion
the main thing that I came to the conclusion of is that the properties that I want from an "app" or service like this is not about federation or decentralization or open source, its about it being a commons without profit motive. How do we create infrastructure for apps to exist outside of this capitalist hell scape?
