  1. #COUCHERS.org = 73,000 accounts
    vs.
    #COUCHSURFING = 12,000,000,000 accounts

    (ok the older CS inactive % is prob much higher due to age of site - but still more people active in early years than couchers and new signups prob)

    73K is not enough vs #Couchsurfing 12MIL (or even half that) but hey it's a better #site + #ethics

  5. #COUCHSURFING YES changed to #subscription #businessmodel in May #2020 so it was during the #COVID-19 pandemic, so that's a bad example for me to say (as it's an ultimatum to subscribe) but people STILL TO THIS DAY PAY and signup !

    And to to #couchers surfing because #wordofmouth or active encouragement on other platforms DOESN'T EXIST MUCH!

    So if any of you have a decent contact for #couchers - then encourage them to talk here / do the people work!

  13. @ConsumoQueSuma @ElSaltoDiario
    Muchas dejamos #Couchsurfing
    La plataforma libre gratuita gestionada por voluntarioado, más grande del mundo es bewelcome.org/
    No es la única. Si quieres #viajar diferente y crear contactos con las personas locales te recomiendo usar #BeWelcome o otras como #TrustRoots, #Couchers, #WarmShowers (para ciclistas) , o #Worldpackers (que ofrece alternativas de voluntariado).

  14. CW: 🔥 Couchers (Couchsurfing) went the same evil :lightning_bolt:

    Oh dear God no 🔥 #Couchers 🔥

    🛂 #Biometric Passport... etc worse than #Couchsurfing sending high level docs to some new company! :nes_fire:

    What are you thinking adding / supporting these features at all?

    🔥 Couchers went evil :lightning_bolt:

    Coming from Couchsurfing lessons? It seems it's maybe a copy.

    🛋️ Couchers Deleted 🗑️ and back to the ones that didn't go crazy - I don't need to host like that! Or try completely heading the wrong way to do trust and feedback how it was *between it's people*. Even just to try it or 'make it optional' as the road to hell later.

    NOT Governments & Biometrics, 👎
    NOT Commercial American Apps :google: :apple_inc: 👎 or Using Hi-Tech Devices 👎

    @douglasvb #Couchsurfing I see still works

    People did migrate to things like #couchers (see list below )

    #surfhosting is like #selfhosting our own services too! (host or surf / feels like both sometimes! ) for peer-to-peer stuff, in-house brain sharing / seeding for the mind and doing stuff together !

    Like torrenting people!

  16. CW: Help Exchange Networks + Hospitality (Couchsurfing + List)

    2 things

    (1) Hospitality systems / Couchsurfing etc

    Free Room / No Rent systems

    #Couchsurfing still good example
    ( almost 'died' or took a dive when they introduced pay-gate ) but still there and others try copy better like #Couchers Couchers.org

    (2) #HelpX description below - great from just the idea
    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HelpX

    HelpX or "Help Exchange" is a barter platform in which people offer or receive homestays, including lodging and food, in exchange for performing a pre-agreed few hours each day or even nothing but enjoying time together.

    Types of work include gardening, animal welfare, cooking, and farming, assistant, extra pair of hands among other things.

    NOTE: Couchsurfing for example can be just for fun allowing people to come for a few nights / keep us company / learn new things / show them around town / meet for drinks / arrange meetups and walks ETC!...

  18. @ajunjahi ps wenn du dem hashtag #couchers folgst, findest du einen link am ende der mit sociallhub beginnt, wo in einer Diskussion die moeglichkeiten besprochen werden bestehende hospitality netzwerke via activity networkprotocol einzubinden, z.b hospitality-exchange. Da kommen tolle Möglichkeiten in der Zukunft...

  24. Da es immer noch relativ warm ist. Tipps zum guenstigen Übernachten

    Was hat bei euch funktioniert? Nutzt ihr noch #couchsurfing , #bewelcome oder das neue #couchers.org? Habt ihr Erfahrung mit #1nitetent mit eigenem #Zelt bei Anderen im Garten gemacht?

  25. @liaizon @onan

    out of all 3, #Couchers seems to have taken the most effort to fully address the human/community safeguarding issues that plague any service like this (incidentally, I'm not sure if people realise that in many countries the moment they invite someone into their house they incur a formal legal duty of care to look after them and can incur legal penalties if things go wrong...)
