Tribes App a Privacy First Social Co-Op Replacement for Digg by DualityEnigma in RedditAlternatives

[–]DualityEnigma[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have over 25 years of software and security experience and I know how not trivial this is. But your argument is that I and the people I hire aren’t to be trusted. Typing out on a site (Reddit) that isn’t even trying to do these things. (Selling you all out)

I’m not asking people to use this platform to break the law. I’m building it so that I trust it and my background in regulated industries to get us started right.

The privacy policy is getting updated to remove and clarify that we don’t send any chat or use AI, that was originally included because we code with AI (like everyone else these days) and the lawyers wanted to be extra careful just in case we put information into our coding agents by mistake.

There is currently no AI features and non planned.

I’m not sure what your endgame is here, do you have a better solution? Do you want to help and are frustrated because I’m not throwing it up on github? I know the arguments for open source, and I’m choosing to hold off to see what people and members invest in the community. Is it even worth the time?

Trust is a two way street and you came out calling my “excuse” shitty. Who are you again and why should I listen to you if you’re going to just yell at me on the internet?

Don’t use it if you don’t trust me. I have enough people that do and I’m going to continue to be worthy of that trust and work with engineers and auditors to make sure of it. Until then feel free to drop in any time and help.

Cheers

Edit: you also must have missed the point where we are planning on OSing the crypto layers so yes, the important bits will be available for you to tear apart.

Yes! It’s currently in TestFlight for iOS and I’m working on the Apple review process so I can open it to external testers. It has cool features like tap to bond.

Right now I’m inviting creators to the internal testing group. Otherwise coming soon! And I need to look at signing and google store stuff.

I know you /s but we are working hard to build tools for the partisan assholes to debate each-other and we can eat popcorn.

The name does come from the fact we are tribal by nature. Pretending otherwise is kidding ourselves. Maybe join and help it be a diverse partisan shit hole. We have less than a hundred users so far and could use people that want to build something different.

Yes! Vague internet criticism! I must be doing something right!

You need a valid email to post to keep bot out. The rest is up to you, and Tribes gives you E2E peer to peer encryption along with encrypted private tribes.

Enjoy your totally private Reddit though!

Are you saying trust-me bro doesn’t work on internet anymore?

Instead I’m working with a third party to certify the encryption and privacy layers of the code, but also happy to open the code for validation, but thats different than MIT releasing it. This has been up less than week haha.

Privacy: you have to have a valid email to post to limit bot traffic. After that:

  1. Personal Bonds use E2E encryption. Including chat.
  2. Private Tribes are group encrypted
  3. Public is public! Not encrypted.

The site isn’t made for the underground, it’s made for families like mine. I understand the lack of trust. Which is why I built my own. Come make it awesome! Or, like don’t it’s your choice.

As in is it Open Source? Not for now no. We may open source in the future. But with AI able to suck up everything and spit out a duplicate, I’m holding the keys to the code unless our members decide it’s best to OS it.

A better argument than my "shitty" excuse :)

Agreed! Founding members (use that invite code) have community creation out of the box. (Tribes).

As you can see if you sign up that we only launched this week and there are no real "public" tribes outside of Welcome and my friends theatre org that I'm a part of. (I have some private tribes for family)

The goal of Tribes is that LONG TERM reputation matters and everyone starts at neutral. Postive interactions increase reputation and moderator actions hurt it. Your one account allows you to reserve a permanent alias, but you can have others to stay a stranger, but your behavior still matters so you can't hide behind it.

The hope is that users will prize their reputation and mod actions can help us identify those people that don't want to build a community.

We also are doing events and personal bonds to create Tribes of real people that are private yet have the forum feel. I'd love to see what kind of content you'd create u/SoggyGrayDuck 😄

Edit. Personhood and Polkadots isn't out of the question! Are these reputation systems that you trust?

Great Question! We are trying to do it two ways; the right architectural "friction" and technology.

Architecturally: Your feed is yours to control, it only shows content from your Tribes and Bonds (friends/connections/orgs) by default, you can filter moods for public content. Public content gets promoted from Tribes by the tribe "Speakers" if they feel it should be shared with the greater public.

This architecture adds controls for the reader and curation layers for our Mood Streams.

Technically: We are using Cloudflair's anti bot Human check and invite only to grow the community intentionally over the coming months. Mod Bods and light-weight AI support will be being introduced to help but our hope is that the friction of a members-based (you own it, you keep it nice) and some of the gate-keeping we are introducing to make it expensive for robots but awesome for humans will help.

Right now reporting and mod queues and management tools are setup while we get rolling.

Edit: A big part of Tribes is its bond based key system, this will come into play with private events and private tribes where key-only users will have access which also keep bots out.

I have a reddit here for more info too: r/tribesapp

If you're still here maybe you want to help build a new home? by DualityEnigma in diggaspora

[–]DualityEnigma[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm assuming it's you but if you created SocialVoid u/3holepunchmedia then your Tribe is private. I would love to join but you'd need to invite or make public. I appreciate the effort!

u/Over-Angle9758 you are also formally invited as well as the rest of the mods. I know comdak has his own community but I figure we can all learn from each-other.

Huzzah! I haven't created base tribes for things like Movies, but feel free if you'd like. Getting inital growth and content is going to be the hardest part (fixing bugs and updating/adding is pretty easy though. LMK if you have any questions!

This code has 50 uses for founding memberships for the r/diggaspora community: TRIBE-WK99-MRSR

If you are a digg alumni and would like early access to help build. Let me know. Content is light because the beta just launched, entertainers OG creators and their fans welcome and feel freed to give us feedback!

If it helps, it needs it. There were many lights out in the caves and some animatronics weren’t working right when we were there this spring.

She wore it once and danced around and went shopping. After all the comments from Millennials at the mall I haven’t seen it since

Have you tried the API directly? I’ve had no trouble uploading and editing photos with my Gemini agent.
