Ask HN: What are some promising “healthy social media” projects?
Well, since you asked... :-)
I've been working on something in this space for a little while. It's called Circles. Originally, I just wanted a safer and easier way to share baby photos with my extended family. Safer than posting pictures of my kid publicly on Facebook. Easier / more convenient than pinging the crap out of everyone's phone on Signal.
It's kind of like a bare-bones version of Facebook. Only you can have multiple social circles (like in G+), each with your own "wall" for posting stuff and timeline of posts from the friends that you're following there.
All posts are E2E encrypted, using the same crypto as in Element/Matrix, and the back end is just a standard Matrix server. The E2EE prevents the server from seeing what you post, or from injecting crap into your timeline. You can use your own Matrix server, or you can sign up to create an account on mine.
It's open source: https://github.com/KombuchaPrivacy/circles-ios
You're welcome to try out the beta if you want: https://testflight.apple.com/join/cwsJZed9
If all goes well, it should go live in the App Store later this month.
Unfortunately it's iOS only for now. I'm working as fast as I can to get started on an Android version.
If you try it out, please let me know what you think! Thanks!!!

Some biologists and ecologists think social media is a risk to humanity
Wow, well said. We are trying to build something like this with Circles. https://github.com/KombuchaPrivacy/circles-ios
It’s E2E encrypted, so the server can’t datamine your posts or meddle with your timeline. Built on Matrix underneath, so building federated communities will be straightforward.
Let me know if you’d like to try it out.

Ask HN: What is your current side-project?
I’ve been learning SwiftUI and building an encrypted social network app. It’s called Circles, and it’s almost ready to go.

Next I need to make the Android version. I’m hearing a lot of good things about Flutter.

Twitter confirms “Twitter Blue”, which costs $2.99 per month
This is awesome. Not because I like Twitter. It’s pretty awful.
And I don’t hold out much hope that this will do anything to stop Twitter from boosting crazy garbage in order to maximize “engagement” and sell ads.
I’m excited because I think this will make it easier for competitors to come along and offer a better, more user-focused experience. You can do a lot with $3/user.
Full disclosure: I’m building a privacy focused social network that will be a paid subscription service. https://github.com/KombuchaPrivacy/circles-ios

What do you recommend for conflict-free replicated data type (CRDT) support in Rust?
It’s been in the works for a few years, and recently reached its beta-rc stage. There’s a quick scaffolding tool, a Typescript client, Rust client (being updated), integration with Nix, Rust and Typescript testing suites, a Tauri-based launcher, an Electron template, etc. It can even be deployed in a cloud instance if you wish. There’s a pretty passionate community on Discord. The Open Source Initiative even approved the Cryptographic Autonomy License specifically for Holochain apps.

The difference between Holochain and Holo
Holochain is a framework for building Peer-to-Peer apps. Everyone can make their own app which utilizes Holochain. Holochain is build by the Holochain Foundation as an Open Source project, i.e. the source code is openly available on Github and you can use and modify it as you wish. Other than providing and developing the framework, the Holochain Foundation will have no control over any part of the app you build. The Foundation also cannot control which apps are built using Holochain. It does not have any governance power in this regard.

Distributed Social Media Network App
I have been thinking about architectural models for making our application distributed, such as Holochain and Gun.eco.

Cosmos X Holochain Rust synergies?
I'm curious about future potential synergies between Holochain ( https://github.com/holochain/holochain ) and the Cosmos ecosystem, considering the consensus engine (under development : https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-rust/tree/main/cosmrs ), the Interchain Blockchain Protocol ( https://github.com/informalsystems/ibc-rs ) and the smart contacts module (https://github.com/CosmWasm/cosmwasm ) exist in Rust.

About Offline First
are running encrypted app code for them so that they can take part in the app/network, without having the required technical chops (the holofuel currency measures processing power). the FAQ does a good job of explaining it a bit more: https://holo.host/faq/
i'm not super interested in the whole holo thing (they sold holofuel hosting credits). i am glad they did it because it meant the team could ramp up development.
about the marx and engels thing. i am most excited about the potential for http://valueflo.ws on top of holochain [3], because it will allow us to move away from today's Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software, into a new paradigm of Network Resource Planning (ERP) software, that i hope will have a big impact on supply chains of the next economy (socialist).

Potential for a serverless backend?
Hey y'all. I've been bouncing ideas around in my skull for how to implement a peer-to-peer / distributed / decentralized / serverless game backend, mostly for the lulz, the what-if's, and the is-it-even-possible's. It would run over a p2p distributed database, peer validation, encryption/signing, based on Holochain, and would include a form of distributed ECS for managing "server" logic.

> It would force the global north to actually build what it's consuming instead of extracting rents from intellectual property. That won't happen.
Oh fuck yes it will happen! Come join us at:
