There's a focus on making games here for obvious reasons, and more generally social networking is the big thing (which is possibly justified). But what do you think alt-tech's biggest priority should be at this point?
A couple possibilities:
-
A genuinely free-speech social network. Not "we'll cave to the big corps as soon as they threaten to delist us" but a network that doesn't count on being listed in the App Store, is willing to distribute its own ipas/apks, etc.
-
An alt-tech search engine that doesn't just get its results from the big corp search engines and only indexes non-woke sites. For example, pulling results only from Infogalactic, and not Wikipedia.
Infrastructure, as everyone has said.
What infrastructure is needed for technology?
Money. Communication. Storage. Security.
With those four things, you can build off them to make nearly anything. But of those four, none are cemented. The primary DDoS protection services are corrupt. Webhosters and server farms are all about taking down non-woke content (just look at the start-up issues of the .win network). There's no "free" communication network with any buy-in. And even some credit unions are causing trouble for right-wing personalities, let alone just credit cards or payment middlemen.
