I like the concept of the iOS/Android app BeReal. Your app tells you randomly during the day that you have to take a combined picture (frond and back camera). So you don’t have much time to prepare. Then this pic is uploaded and friends who follow you can see it.

Wouldn’t that be cool to have this also as a part in the Fediverse, so with open source technology and dezentralized. What do you think? Maybe there are already plans to build such a thing. I would love to see this! 🤩 Anybody else?

    I don’t know, personally I’ve never liked the idea behind that app. It seems like a massive privacy risk. I know if it is open source there is less of a risk, but I still don’t like the idea of people being encouraged to constantly post themselves and their surroundings.

      This, as well as the fediverse’s double edged feature that stuff pretty much can never be deleted (only “requested”).

      This sounds like a privacy nightmare
