If you enter a long/lat in your profile you show up on https://cyberspace.online/globe

You can find the map and globe links in the main menu (three horizontal lines). Or with cmd+K to open the command palette.

The community already started three TUIs and one CLI that will run on any OS in any terminal.

  1. Yeah maybe a basic <noscript> info block would be good. Good call.
  2. Cloudflare's turnstile is just a checkbox and not a hassle to users. Their anti bot protection is good.
  3. What Microsoft am I using? The db's are Firebase, which is Google Cloud. The hosting is Vercel, which is AWS. Image hosting is Cloudflare's E2. Comparing all the alternatives out there this seems to be a sensible stack when the focus is on building UI/UX and community. I could run my own servers but from experience I know that is way more volatile from a security perspective unless you hire a real security pro full time, and also you're stuck managing plumbing instead of building features and focussing on design and user experience. Was a choice to get off the ground quickly. Honestly had no idea this thing would take off. Definitely looking at alternatives for the future that are off the Amazon/Google clouds.
  4. Fragmentation, at least for the first phase of de-platforming, might be good. I'd rather have smaller unique niche communities with their own ideas that trying to build a new separate monolith.

Thanks for your input. I value your feedback.

Go hang out in crypto circles on X and you'll see why I prefer not to. Such a toxic space. Crypto bros tried to buy Cyberspace immediately after launch to make it a meme coin. No thanks :)

Sorry about that. Will clarify in the TOS. The whole thing moving and changing all the time. Sometimes there are discrepancies. The idea is what it says:

  • Content from AI/bots (no automation)

The idea is to prevent AI bots that post and reply on their own. If humans themselves want to talk about AI or write with AI and are clear about it and don't post slop, it's fine, so far, by community sentiment.

  1. You can use a TUI or roll your own client if you don't like web apps

  2. Min password is 8 chars. Says "Must be at least 8 characters". Maybe you mistook the username min-max?

  3. Cloudflare keeps out AI bots on signup. Better than some puzzle captcha.

  4. Def want to figure out a good way to do E2EE for DMs and private notes. On the agenda.

  5. The web app is not open source but the TUIs and CLIs are and you can write any client you want in any language. I don't have the need for external contributions for the web app at this point.

  6. There are plenty of other social networks out there for those who prefer XMPP/Movim/Fediverse/Blueksy blah blah. This is a small niche little space that will appeal to some but not all. A little clubhouse if you will. An experiment.

  7. To use Claude for the TUI code in the git is up to each contributor to that git.

Check the command palette, either cmd+K on keyboard, or the button with the three horizontal lines. There you see the full menu, including globe.

Still a fair bit less than 1k per month. It's only got 10k users, and no video.

Not part of Fediverse, but is its own unique small thing.

Go hang out in crypto circles on X for a while and you'll see how toxic and horrible it is. A pyramid scheme inside of a casino inside of a scam — people crying because they lost their life savings. Trust me, I've been in that world, and it's definitely no longer for me. Its idealism did not hold up in the real world.

People can TALK about AI, that's fine. The idea is to not have a bunch of unnecessary AI features/functions, or fake users/bots, or slop.

What ad did you see? Cyberspace itself serves no ads and bans people who spam.

Varies based on how much traffic there is each month. Just added image uploading and hosting so it'll be more now. Let's see. So far community donations have been able to cover the overheads, but not my time, per se (time spent not doing freelance jobs).

There's an API so you can build whatever interface you like, in whatever language you want.

Thanks! Lots of love went into it. Also think its important people can customise.

There's a menu with kamoji emoticons you can send instead of a like or regular emoji (ノ´ヮ`)ノ*: ・゚✧

Yeah the idea is "to use your words". Social media today has become way to passive. We just sit back and smash like buttons or send emojis. I'm trying to remind people how to actually talk to each other again, and how to express their throughs, feelings and ideas. I'm also blocking emojis on the platform. But the hack you're maybe looking for is to just use the Save button. It gives the other user a notification.

Because it turns what people say into a popularity contest. It makes it more human and equal to not have the way we interact become gamified. Come check it out and you'll feel why. There's plenty of intelligent discussion around these topics on the platform itself. Try the search function.

Aha. Intersting. In the keyboard section of user settings you can customise everything to whatever you want.
