Can we have a more "social" media?

@Profpatsch oh cool what did you build @happy-programming with?
@liaizon Right now it’s two golang files that do a half-assed job at implementing activitypub
@Profpatsch ah very cool its custom! have you published the code? I would add it to a list of implementations I help manage at https://delightful.club
Delightful Lists

@liaizon yeah, it’s published, but currently I’d not feel comfortable being listed anywhere, the code is really rough and I haven’t really made sure it’s free of security issues
@Profpatsch honestly seeing it running live and followable I would say you are better off then half the things listed on these lists

Delightful lists are friendly lists. I started Delightful commons in reaction to the popular Github Awesome project by Sindre Sorhus where many lists feature proprietary products, not FOSS value-aligned. Delightful lists are purely for FOSS, open science, and open data related resources.

Something can be delightful well before it is awesome. It is delightful that people provide the fruits of their work for others to benefit too.

Especially relating to the 3 fediverse lists delightful is defined as "any project with the *intent* to join the fediverse ecosystem".

This aligns with Social experience design, which considers a Solution to exist as soon as you can write it on a sticky note (see example). From there it evolves.
