    I like it, but I wish it was pivoted more towards earnest sharing of real life stuff and less tiktok reposting.

    I wanted a federated, FOSS clone of #Beme, and I got a not-yet-federated-but-soon, not-yet-FOSS-but-soon tiktok clone. Meh?

  3. #BeMe:

    • Get into #todoTxt / #todoSh because you're desperately trying to get organized
    • Dump everything swimming around in your head into your todo.txt so your noggin can finally be free
    • Adopt @proycon's excellent [todo.txt-more] scripts to extend todo.sh into time management
    • Write your own [wrapper scripts] around todo.txt-more to add your own little flourishes and features
    • Use it for over a year, adding tons of todo items and time accounting
    • Finally give up and just use [vi dayplan.md] because you're #ADHD as frick and the sheer number of todo items freezes your blood X'D

    P.S. I'd really love a version of (think , but more authentic).
    I can't imagine a video-based Fediverse service, though. That would be a TON of storage, unless it had something like a TTL of 1 hour

  5. social reminds me a little bit of my old favorite, , which I miss terribly.

    However, it's got five trackers, among them Huawei Mobile Services Core. Uhhh, NO WAY.

  6. I still miss Beme.

    It was surprisingly an incredibly authentic video-based social network that never quite got off the ground. I almost never post to , never cared about , and wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole.

    But was special, and I posted on it quite frequently.

    (Note, this video features a very early version of the app. It got a LOT better later on, but never perfect.)
