I am interested in people’s view on the value of “bundled” federated services offerings. I have seen that most new fediverse offerings, like Lemmy or Mastodon, usually start with the first instance being the most popular, and then a scattering of self hosted instances.
At the same time I have run across a couple of projects that offer a range of services to members like email, chat and VPN. Specifically these two:
https://disroot.org/en https://riseup.net/
I was wondering if people thought there was a space for something similar in the fediverse. An organization that offers a range of fedi applications: mastodon, lemmy, etc… to members of its community.
The services bundles idea is already more wide spread since years :) For example https://snopyta.org/ https://weho.st/ and more here : https://libreho.st/ Some do offer federated options like Matrix, Mastodon, Pixelfed, Peertube, Plume for example here : https://tchncs.de/
adding framasoft.org, even if their bundle is not as integrate. opendesktop.org have git, cloud and mastodon
