I don’t know… maybe having little, super effective and specific platforms is better than one where you try to include most of the features possible. That’s the awesomeness of the Fediverse! As long as there is seamless interoperability, anything goes smoothly.

To be honest, I do not care. It is important to have the right license, but the value of a software should not be conditioned by license bias. It is a matter that is not strictly and directly related.

Software comes first, license comes close, but still second to it.

I did not know it. I’ll look into it! Thanks for sharing

It might be, but IMDb, as all Big Tech companies (it is owned by Amazon) is successfully settling on territories where before there were other smaller services, among them Trakt.

I love the Fediverse and I love cinema 🍿, I don’t think I am the only one…
I am surprised nobody has realized a Fediverse software for movies, yet!

I am tired of IMDb, and any other alternative is centralized, proprietary software.

What I think could be done is to develop a fork of @bookwyrm@tech.lgbt with the same features, but some key differences that make it the go-to solution for tracking movies you want to watch and that you watched, as well as sharing your thoughts with your friends. I already emailed @tripofmice@friend.camp, Bookwyrm’s creator and main maintainer, about this possibility.

I am keeping notes concerning this idea in the link for the post.


Unfortunately, even though I am a Fediverse enthusiast and I cannot stop talking about it with everybody, I am no developer and I cannot practically start working on this, also because my time is too limited to work on such a software. Nevertheless, I hope writing this post could inspire somebody to code something and start a Fediverse platform for movies! 😍

Of course I am available for anything else concerning the project: website creation, marketing, bug testing and community moderation, etc.

Thanks a lot for your time!

Happy holidays,
Tommi 🤯
