--

I’m building a new tool and looking for volunteers to test it! A linktree.

It’s designed for two types of people:

Normies / newcomers – Think of it like a free, privacy-respecting Linktree. No trackers, no ads. But here's the cool part: it's a Trojan horse for the fediverse. Your profile link is itself an ActivityPub actor. That means people can interact with it directly in the fediverse, and it encourages exploration of open platforms.

Fediverse users, If you have multiple accounts (#Mastodon, , Loops, a federated blog…), you know the struggle: sometimes you just want one persona to follow. This tool gives you that. It doesn’t post on its own (read-only), but it boosts all your other accounts and even has its own inbox. PLUS it can receive and show your badges issued by @badgefed !

Interested in testing? Right now it only supports mastodon/gotosocial authentication, so if you have a mastodon or gotosocial account register a new account.

--

UPDATE: I am doing load testing at this point, if many people sign-up expect some unavailability moments. Thanks for your patience, I want to discover the limits of the stack.

The commons based communication that SHOULD'VE been social media all along got corrupted by platforms, (when people used to use email, text, THEIR OWN WEBSITE) and turned artists, musicians, people making creative things, PEOPLE TALKING TO THEIR FRIENDS into "influencers" and "content creators" and "personal brands" and other vapid capitalist self concepts. Fedi should NEVER reproduce that.

Credentials and badges and awards and such capitalist dopamine boosty things aren't good for people and communities and perpetuates the corporate social media model.

I want people to get away from those sites, but the first step is making the transition easy, that is why I want them to be able to login with linkedin/github, and crosspost, so they don't feel the withdrawal.

Absolutely! You hit the nail.

I think we can make a better linktree. We can have featured accounts, with people showing other accounts. We can have latest updates. We can allow normies to crosspost/boost from instagram, rss, bluesky, whatever. We can do many many things.
