OpenCola reminds me of the work I did making my own Club Mate clone, including a delicious sugar free Club Mate clone.
The one thing I never cracked was Club Mate Winter Edition.
Maybe this is worth turning into a project?

@michalzelazny there are several other #Fediverse hosts that are interesting. #GotoSocial has some potential for self hosting without the expenses and hasles associated with Mastdon and #FireFish has a great feature set that goes beyond Mastdon. Naturally, both have issues of their own.
If you want to get really radical, there's also #OpenCola.
My #fediverse usage has hit a milestone: I can now follow folks as intelligent filters!
In #opencola days we called them "super-recommenders" 😁
So don't worry if I unfollow, it nearly always means I found someone who regularly boosts your toots, unlike last May when I'd follow and follow just so there's be something interesting to engage with; these days I miss a lot if I just take a nap!
Has anybody heard of or is using OpenCola? I saw this presentation on it from DEF CON 30 and it looks very interesting. Already requested access to their alpha.
The tech will improve, and I hope the smartphone of the future is less a tracking device and can become its own client/server Fediverse node, like our 'clervers' back in #OpenCOLA days.
The next stop from here has already started, the personal hub, and soon, I hope, these will be running a personal cloud server appliance so everyone's data is under their own exclusive personal control.
We'd need IPv6 of course. And reasonable data rates. And cheap power. Oh, and rent, food, ...
