@pglpm@emacs.ch no, I'm talking about Fediverse, or more specifically, I'm thinking about the ActivityPub protocol that runs it.

AP is all about delivering streams of content left and right from content producers to the applications and websites that want it. But the streams themselves are a little ephemeral so it's up to the end use to decide what to do with them.

So Fediverse might deliver an answer to a question, and while a platform like Mastodon might just throw it up on the screen for an hour, it takes a more specialized website to actually display the answer that was provided and keep it around for future users to find.

@volkris @pglpm It would be very useful if a bot would harvest all “askFedi” hashtagged status into an organized DB that could replace #stackExchange. But it’d be quite ambitious.

If you want to liberated #deshitified access to SE, have a look at #anonymousOverflow:

@bojkotiMalbona that sounds like a useful and interesting project, especially if someone manages to nail a UI to access it effectively.
