What if emulating Twitter was a bad decision for federated social media
What if, instead: Federated MUD's
You spawn in a text-based adventure MUD on your own server, and you can go to other servers' text-based MUD's via in-game mechanics depending on the server in question
look
You are in a room
exit
You can't do that
go door
You leave the room, and you are at a bus stop. List top 10 federated servers? (y/n)
@researchfairy This has been tried. But you thought moderating social spaces where we just type text at each other was hard? Wait until people can actually grief each other. And cheating is possible. Even cheating on a meaningless leaderboard where the points are made up and don't matter. Not to mention the content moderation issues: can I take my dildo of +1 elfslaying onto your family friendly server? If not, what happens to it; does it stay in my inventory, or get destroyed, or what?
