A new federation is always interesting, but like @poVoq said

An open-source fediverse designed to secure everyone’s right to free speech. No censorship, no abuse of power; just traditional forum communities of all kinds.

Feels like the kind of thing you’d read for a platform like voat or all the other chuddy platforms. Reddit alternatives are very hard to keep from descending into alt right garbage, and the actions necessary to keep them from doing that don’t really coincide with “free speech” and “no censorship”. Other than that it seems pretty neat.

Xaiecon solves [name and community squatting], and other problems, by being very flexible with names. Here, names works like in Discord, you can have a name like someone’s else, but you are assigned a Unique Id for identification.

Echo chambers are avoided by using categories, and give more relevance to posts which have more discussion (WIP).

That’s really cool, and some of those are things suggested for lemmy which were decided against (which isn’t a bad thing) so we’ll see how that plays out.

Terrible name, and their tag-line is somewhat dubious… it doesn’t even explain anywhere how and why it is censorship resistant… Site also doesn’t really work right now, and a Python code-base likely isn’t very scalable under higher load.

But lets see… but right now I can’t see anything about it that would make it preferable to Lemmy for example.

Convince me otherwise ;)

Does this use an open standard for federation? Colloquially at least, “Fediverse” is synonymous with ActivityPub, but really any open standard should suffice.
