Flohmarkt - a Fediverse replacement for Facebook Marketplace
-
I don't agree? Even in big cities, I've often seen marketplace posts from people with mutual friends, so I could easily verify their trustworthiness. In other scenarios I can at least check to see if their posting history and/or profile seems legit or if there are any red flags. Having more data helps people decide whether to trust someone, but Craigslist doesn't allow for that.
But now that FB is overrun by AI bots and real users leave, there won't be many mutual friends left very soon....

Maybe you can request your instance to be added here: https://codeberg.org/flohmarkt/flohmarkt/wiki/flohmarkt-instances
Already added it

I would host an instance if it's working well enough - has anyone done it yet?
-
AFAIK not. Feel free to develop one!

Yes as long as business is accessible in EU it must set up hq in one of the eu countries and report data on sellers.
If we weren’t all preoccupied with spectating usians collapsing themselves maybe we would act before this thing came into power
The thing is that since all content is federated, each government would have to ask every single instance worldwide for user data. Seems unenforceable.

It's German
It is well known that only names which are in the devinely decreed English language are acceptable on the internet

What if you could log in with your Mastodon (or other) Fediverse account, and they would too, so you could see their user history and connections? (And they could see yours)
-
Just call it Floh Market or just Floh.
Flow Market or Just "Flow" would be good too.I like just "Floh", even if it does just mean "flea" in German.

That would be cool!

You can use gpg signatures
That wouldn’t really solve it though. The problem is not a man in the middle attack. It’s someone scamming you. They can do it, then generate another signature, repeat, etc.

What I want is an eBay alternative. Like old school eBay, with basic (non obscured) reputation system, auction options, stuff like that.

Running Numbat on my server and couchdb is being a real pain in the butt
apparently there's no support for Numbat yet. If anyone has any suggestions I'm all ears. -

Web of trust - did you hear? https://www.gnupg.org/gph/en/manual/x547.html

Uber isn't a German word tho?
Also, the founders are Canadian and American, not Germans

So you only trade with people in your web of trust? That’s not feasible. People flock to these websites to trade with strangers. You don’t need a middleman to trade with people you already trust.

Friend of friend networks, that's how classmates have benefits created ( a prototype to "prove" 6 connections theory )

A friend shared to me that the developers are always open for discussion on their IRC channel:
