  • When listing an app on the app store, there is a footgun to watch out for. One of the questions it asks is “Is this app made for children” or “is this app intended for children” or something like that. If you say “yes” to this then that triggers extra stringent evaluation criteria. Many people will accidentally choose yes for their app because it’s a general purpose app which anyone can use (no porn, violence, etc) but that is a mistake. The intent of that question is to find apps that are ONLY for children to use and to evaluate them differently in order to keep children safe.

    Private messages would need to be end-to-end encrypted. No ActivityPub-based platform does this. I’ve been mulling over how to do it but haven’t landed on anything solid yet.

    Signs-ups don’t have to be open, they can be closed or vetted - it’s just a config option that can be changed with a couple of clicks.

    PieFed has polls. But it’d be helpful to take inspiration from Loomio and add much richer functionality here to turn a poll into a proper group decision-making tool.
