James M.<p>🧵</p><p>The world needs a secure, open source alternative to Facebook private posting (i.e. to friends only), but nothing on the fediverse really fills the need today, alas. At the Fediforum in June, I gave a short presentation on FriendSafe, a social media system I've written that supports private posting. It's a proof of concept that works today, but it would need major UX work and a security review before it's really ready for widespread use. It has a few other features I haven't seen in other social media yet, and which I'd love to see added to other projects.</p><p>In this thread is that 10-slide presentation, one slide per post. The text in the slides is the same as the text in the posts. The presentation is focused on FriendSafe, but I'm also just trying to get these ideas out there.</p><p>Let's start a conversation. Specifically, how can we move forward to get secure private posting ASAP, with full mobile support, etc.? I think this is critical to let people exit FB.</p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@fediforum" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>fediforum</span></a></span></p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/fediforum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fediforum</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/SocialMedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SocialMedia</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>privacy</span></a></p>
