#fediverse sharing/gifting economy hastags
using hashtags to organize a bit of sharing economy.
You know those gifting places that people use in #facebook? At least in germany they are very popular
So how about we get something like this for the fediverse. It also helps to reduce economic pressure that is on all of us through sharing more of our resources solidarity
Idea is simple:
You have something free to share:
use #offer and #location
@paulfree14
ah, and of course it's just an idea.
If you have some critique of better ideas, pls share them
@bob
yes. I was really happy when sawing that plugin for the first time.
I've been even some time with a collectice that had in mind to (also) develope a sharing plattform.
Unforunalty my influence as a non-coder wasn't enough to get them into the federated 'world'.
....they would have the power to create momentum, as they also maintain a plattform that is focused on rescuing and sharing food with ~100.000 users from germany.
@bob
...there was some arogance towards the knowledge of people that aren't coder when it was about software.
@paulfree14 this would probably work better if hashtags actually worked on the fediverse
@sir
well they do work. it's just that ppl can't see every #.
@paulfree14 @syndikalista Can I suggest using e-mail or one of the many existing free exchange sites for this?
I don't really want my timeline to end up being mostly boosts of people giving away or asking for stuff.
@paulfree14 @syndikalista Don't get me wrong, I think recycling stuff and giving stuff away is good; I'm just not sure this is the right platform for it.
At the very least use CWs
@syndikalista @artsyhonker
for this I think the hashtags are usefull.
Then people have a place they can look it up. Right now it only get's higher visable when others are boosting it. And ppl are boosting it at the moment, often.
If more people would use the suggested or other hashtags for it, and regular checking them, I believe that could work well.
@paulfree14 @artsyhonker i guess it would be great to have Something Like a bot, which toots requests it got via Direct Message. So People WHO are interessted can follow/unfollow and Things are tooted with CW.
@paulfree14
i like this idea.
