two weeks of running #snac2

number of files generated by snac is huge, but i don't care that much anymore.

$ du -hd0 /var/snac
133M	/var/snac
$ find /var/snac | wc -l
   35603
i like snac a lot: i run my own server and client, i can modify css (and i do tweak it often, i can modify the source code---didn't get to that yet ;)

sometimes i use snac command line, but mostly snac web ui and nothing else.

someday maybe i'll try to build some minimalist #activitypub server, but looks like a lot of work :)

FB has been like that for long time, and I doubt anyone cares.
I'm thinking what the positive alternative reality tech version looks like:

  • federated and open, like in the beginning when one could message folks on FB via Jabber
  • linear timelines from friends and follows
  • no tracking and requiring login for public content
  • freemium data-hosting oriented monetisation: photo albums + @fb.com email perhaps?
  • fighting spam etc. effectively
  • treating privacy responsibly from the beginning, and thus potentially becoming a trusted KYC/person verification platform (one more area of monetisation)
