  7. 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 👎

  8. The mess we keep making of #FOSS governance

    It's disheartening to see a community platform like #Trustroots https://trustroots.org facing challenges with governance, with issues and tensions among its contributors https://github.com/trustroots-community/trustrots/issues?q= and here https://trustroots.community/ This situation is messy and underscores the importance of establishing healthy governance practices within community-driven projects to ensure their long-term sustainability and effectiveness. The case of Trustroots alongside […]

  9. CW: Couchsurfing alternatives #peer2peer #selfhosting #surfing #p2p #houseshare

    @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!

  10. @mariha will be presenting @sleepybike (a bird's eye view at the project) at the next Solid World on Tuesday (solidproject.org/events). It will be a 10min presentation alongside other Solid-based social good projects.

    She'll try to explain, i.a., how #SolidProject addresses the issues of social network ownership experienced by #WarmShowers and very recently #Trustroots hospitality exchange communities.

    You are very welcome to join the event.

  11. thanks to #trustroots we camped @ kasper's property near #Aljezur. it was so lovely to share time with interesting and inspiring people that we stayed 5 days to chat, eat and help around the house. marc installed a kitchen sink in the shed and fiona mounted the water connection together with one of the other guests.

    due some strong rain we realised that our #tent leaked. luckily we had a tube of seam grip glue with us. so we could glue the leaking areas.

  12. @StefanBlasel danke! Ich hab mich mal bei #trustroots angemeldet und werde das mal ein wenig ausprobieren.. aber #bewelcome und #couchers sehen auch interessant aus! Mal gucken wie sich das entwickelt..

  13. @ajunjahi Es gibt die #Opensource -Alternativen #Trustroots und #bewelcome. In wie weit couchers.org auch open source ist , weiss ich nicht. Toll sind auch #1nitetent im Sommer, um ein Zelt im Garten aufzubauen und #Warmshowers, um #Langstreckenradfahrer zu beherbergen.

  14. CW: couchsurfing plattforms

    @mayel @paulfree14 @LWFlouisa reading further down that history, it seems like #TrustRoots forked off from BW, due to disagreements about governance and software development *sigh*. So...

  15. From what I've been reading about the history of #BeWelcome (bevolunteer.org/about-bevolunt), it sounds like #CouchSurfing and #HospitalityClub are proprietary #DataFarms, so I doubt they'd be interested in federation. But maybe BW and #TrustRoots.org would, and it would intriguing to find out where #HelpX, #Workaway, #WarmShowers, and any other existing hospitality exchange sites fit into this picture.

  16. Fortunately, there are hospitality exchange sites that are run democratically by the volunteers that do the work, and their software is released as #FreeCode. Examples include #BeWelcome.org, and #TrustRoots.org

  17. CW: Personal view on the history of hospitality exchange networks, like 1200 characters

    @arteteco OK, thanks for the insights. I was introduced to BW by a family that stayed with us using CS, so the version of events I laid out was from them. Apologies if I mislead anyone. Thanks for the links to #TrustRoots, I'll check it out.

  18. CW: ridesharing plattform, hubzilla

    @neil
    I've been tryn to get people behind #trustroots, #hitchwiki, #ecobasa, #foodsharing, #yunity into federated development.
    ...but for what ever reason they work to much project orientated.
    But it could be also that I just suck at pitching ideas xD.
    (they've got a big userbase, that are actually very inline with values from the fediverse)

  19. @NathanHawks_xyz
    I don't know anyone from there, but did you know that there are house keeping plattforms. Can't remember it's names but you should find one usefull, thought.
    It's people traveling or something and looking for someone taking care if stuff at their place while they are away.

    Also there are sites like bewelcome, #trustroots and co
