I am looking for people who are interested in Zot-based platforms: Hubzilla, Zap and Osada as a base to build “village intranet” instances for either intentional or local communities. Anyone out there?

    What is your opinion abut usability in the context I gave? From some other source I got this:

    Zap and Osada do one thing (social networking) and do it well. Use Osada if you want a really good ActivityPub server, and use Zap if you want or need nomadic identity and much stronger privacy than the fediverse can offer. Use Hubzilla if you actually know what a ‘platform’ is and want to build something great (decentralised communities and cities with shoppes and businesses that all respect your freedom) rather than than just waste your life in idle chit-chat.

    What says you?

      The destinction between Osada and Zap has become really blurred recently, and there is also Misty2020 now. Really not sure what Mike the main developer of those is thinking.

      As for Hubzilla, well yes it could be used for such, but IMHO it is more suited as an all in one personal or family cloud. It really has all the features most people typically use and you can interact with external services via ActivityPub.
