Comment on Can we please make a viable (federated!) amazon alternative? I have an idea!
NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 1 week agoAmazon is basically glorified dropshipping
This premise is not correct. As I’ve described, Amazon’s business is providing services to other businesses, many services, which make their platform attractive for sellers due to ease-of-use. Therefore…
Let’s make an amazon alternative.
This objective is not really possible. An alternative that does not provide all of those services is not actually an alternative.

Thanks for clarifying. As stated, I disagree on this premise. We were talking about amazon.com. more specific the platform that shows you items you can buy from a variety of sellers which you dont have to vet yourself, with no ui change, with unufied payment, unified purchase, unified shipment overview. The other services i’m fine to discuss at some point but thats not the idea here.
