veniasilente@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 week ago- No. There is no particular reason why there needs to be one (say) twitter alternative. Heck, there is not even a reason why there should be a alternative. Fediverse is allowed to be their own things.
- But each site already has their front page. See eg.: lemmy.dbzer0.com. Alternatively if you meant “each software”, that’s more-or-less what join-lemmy.org is doing.
- No but yes.
- I’m not sure that leads to where you think it leads to. That would require authenticating users financially, for one, else it becomes a dark pattern magnet for suckpuppeting. 5 Mostly absolutely yes. I think I’ve seen it discussed a few times under “fediverse identity” or something like that.

Having multiple versons of the same type of platform artificially divides the Fediverse and makes it more likely that they’ll split along ideological lines
While it would be awesome if we could figureout unique formats of social media, everything has basically been done, Myspace, Facebook and Linkton are the format of keep up with your friends.
Twitter and BlueSky are the basic format for literally “see whats trending”
Reddit and Lemmy are the basic format of Curated Community Content.
Youtube is the basic video sharing platform.
Tiktok algorithmic video sharing and platform which actually improves on youtube.
It would be really hard to fine a way to make a truly unique social media site but would be awesome
