Keep in mind that OP’s project is already based a different protocol than the Fediverse for their own reasons. Trying to create and maintain a bridge between different protocols might be more work than to just make modifications to posts in the current system.
Other factors are end user experience and branding. Keep in mind that the average Facebook/NextDoor user isn’t tech-savvy, and could also be put off by the weird software names commonly found in the Fediverse
It’s likely worthwhile for OP to look into flohmarkt, but integration might not be the optimal method

Another idea you could potentially add down the line: what about functionality similar to Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace? Those tend to work by helping you focus on your local area as opposed to EBay.
Granted, Craigslist is largely fine imo, I’m just proposing a way to help you kill off Facebook

Reading through your link, it seems like the main difference in your framework is that there’s auto-propogation of federation built in. Please correct me if I missed anything
Unrelated point: before you throw too much time and effort into building up federation, I want to bring something in the Matrix vs. XMPP debate: caching.
Apparently in Matrix, if a user on server A joins a chatroom on server B, then all of the content on the chatroom need to then be copied and synced to server A. There’s 2 primary problems with this: it’s a lot of duplication overhead that can limit scaling of the network and there’s legal consequences for server A caching potentially illegal content. There’s also a privacy concern as this means more parties that can see various interactions.
XMPP gets around these problems by having the user on server A just directly connect with server B, without server A caching anything.
I haven’t dug into too many of the differences myself, but wanted to bring it up in case it helped

or at least add icons like ↑ and ↓ next to it.
C# in Excel can’t even properly pull values from a table correctly. No way I’m going to waste 2-3 trying to make it concatenate non-alphanumeric characters into cells.
At work, there isn’t anyone I have to send tables to that is colorblind. And if that changes, they can make a request. Until then, I’m sticking with red/green

yeah, I think the email is probably fake and made for internet points / humor
Eh, you’d be surprised at how far some people will go to criticize women in STEM fields. It’s not everyone, and I doubt it’s even a majority, but there’s enough that I wouldn’t be surprised if this is true.
Or maybe the OOP is a mathematical Lisa Frank. Idk

- Comment on LumenTale, the one monster collector that delivers what matters most: strong monster design 1 week ago:
the one monster collector
Dude, you don’t have to disparage other games to promote another. And there’s plenty of other games that do get monster design right. Go look at Coromon or Palworld.
And while LumenTale looks good, I’m not fully sold on the creature design. A lot of it looks overly detailed, like the newer Pokémon games, like everything has swirls and/or spikes.
There’s something to the phrase “less is more”. An overall simpler design with 1-2 defining features does a much better job at making a particular creature design stand out, even amonst a large roster. If everything has tons of details and flair, they all start blurring together.
Personally, I think creature aethetics that are closer to Gen 3 or 4 Pokémon strike the best balance. And some people would argue with me on that point and claim that Gen 2 or even Gen 1 designs are the best. And you know what? That’s fine. People can like what they like because it’s subjective.
And no, that last part isn’t contradicting my first part. I’m giving reasons as to why someone might not like the newer style. For some it’s not a factor, for others it’s a big deal.

- Comment on [Recommendation] What are some manga with lots of twists? 1 week ago:
Asking for twists every chapter or even every page sounds unrealistic. How does a series even keep continuity like that?
But if I had to give a rec, I’d say Domestic no Kanojo. You get twists fairly often, and as long as you don’t get invested in the Rui vs. Hina fight and just strap in for the dumpsterfire roller coaster it’ll be enjoyable

And eventually companies will hopefully start cancelling those subscriptions to move to Open Office or Libre Office.
France is already starting that push by having government departments transition first, and are projected to save millions of euros in licensing fees each year. Once you get a critical mass of users on libre software, it’ll hopefully spread on its own

Also, another thing to consider is whether there’s other people around and what their gender is. Consider the scenario of me (a man) walking down the street at night and there’s one person around that I need to pass by to get where I’m going.
If I’m constantly moving my head to look around at everything, I’m going to look really shady and make other people worried. I’m just trying to get somewhere, so I’d rather not bother people, which means it’s better to just look ahead and kinda ignore them, and trust that my peripheral vision will pick up any actual threats.
