[Decentralized, federated platform for dog owners] I haven’t been able to get this idea out of my head for a while now. 😩😁 Why are there centralized platforms for dog owners—but no open, decentralized alternative? 🤔 What if clubs, animal shelters, dog training schools, or local communities could run their own instances while still being interconnected, based on ActivityPub, similar to the Fediverse? 😃 Possible features could include: 🐶 Dog profiles 🚶 Walks & meetups 📍 Dog parks & local spots ⚠️ Poisoned bait and hazard alerts 🔎 Missing & found dogs The focus would be on data sovereignty, local communities, and open standards instead of a centralized platform. 😉 Attached is a preliminary concept diagram to make the idea more tangible. I’d be interested to know: Would you use something like this, or even help build it? ⁉️ 🙄 #Fediverse #ActivityPub #OpenSource #SelfHosting #Dogs #DogLovers #AnimalWelfare #Community #Idea
