Interesting. We’ve been looking more into the IndieWeb movement, which is a bit more about pushing social networks back to being a network of self-owned and self-hosted websites. Obviously, this makes sense for a hosting business, but I also think its much better than a bunch of ad-driven silos.
Sublevel has been around for while. I’m curious about the ‘by Digital Ocean’ too. It’s a referral link though, and the DNS and server are provided by Digital Ocean.
Why is it “for introverts”?
It feels snappy, but otherwise not different to Twitter, Mastodon, etc.
Why not use the OStatus protocol and talk to the fediverse? ?
This way we can tackle the network effect instead of dividing our effort.
Is sublevel open source? I see:
“We’re simply in ♥ with open–source.”
But no links to repos. Just curious.
https://github.com/lucianmarin/sublevel I think, but it’s empty, so I am confused.
Also found:

No, just powered by Digital Ocean.

Good to see this is still going. You weren’t able to sell it or find a new caretaker in the end?
Ah, I’d completely forgotten about sublevel. I used it for a while, it is nice. Looks like I stopped using it 2.5 years ago o_O
