@malwaretech they are demonstrating some amazing decision making and judgement these days
@jerry any idea if someone has made or is making an open source alternative to Facebook marketplace? I find marketplace incredibly useful, but would love the possibility of moving to another ad-less platform down the line.
@BlueBee I don’t know of one, so boosting
@BlueBee @jerry I've been wondering what could replace Craigslist/FB Events/FB Marketplace in some way that was local and lightweight. It's a mess out there right now, and it seems like something ought to lay down foundations for these really basic community needs.
@DarcMoughty @BlueBee @jerry FB events is the one I really miss, it’s unique. The mix of event listings combined with seeing which of your friends are going is what makes it better than the many sites out there showing event listings alone. That and the ubiquity of FB when it was popular. Friendica has events already, actually, so I guess we should start using that!
@BlueBee @jerry A Marketplace - sadly, isn't happening anytime soon...
@BlueBee @jerry one option is https://www.freecycle.org/. It's not quite the same thing, since everything must be given away, no money exchanged. But I've found it a great way to keep things out of a landfill.
Freecycle: Front Door

Look above πŸ‘†, add more mutual hash-tags, #help, mututal hashes would be useful, possibly
Example: #mutualaid : 75 posts, but, if you added a hierarchy, both <~~|~~>, on similar for something called β€œhash helper”(made up)(No Pun Intended).
Goal: To add basic structural support for users: To let those know: to drill up or drill down: to add more and be precise, add mutual tags. Mods could add( #foss, ) *Shrugs*πŸ€·β€β™€οΈπŸ€·β€β™‚οΈπŸ€”πŸ‘‡
@BlueBee @JillGMedArt @jerry
Also, mod support, could set preferences, inside settings, could be specific to local hash #data, or alt within a range of state, zip, or help bring, global hash, to local, hash assoc. a backend could always could be running those down, when trends in specific tags(trend), (for safety) to verify messages are relevant for tag muting (max,mini dox)(local,global,mods) just an idea πŸ’‘, save time, resources, and help #community
