Following the sale of Komoot to private equity, Josh Meissner explores the broken relationship between corporate capital and our communities...

Komoot has always rubbed me the wrong way with its aggressive marketing tbh.

I reckon most people lurking here browse BP anyway, really only posting this because i was surprised to see somebody in the comments giving a shoutout to this community! 😊

    Yeah i also do it only locally, although i got to say this wanderer.to thing looks pretty interesting. There is an instance on tchncs.de, i’m thinking about signing up there, just to have a look. Would be cool if that was also compatible with wordpress or ghost, to add the tracks from a blog into the wanderer sphere, maybe it is already possible, i don’t know.

      I didn’t write it in my reply, so exactly this is something I am looking to.

      Basically some integration with fediverse but in this case I am looking to do it bit backwards add it to the wanderer and link it/embed it on the blog.

        Do you already know what type of software you’d wanna use for the blog? Some kind of federated blog i assume? I am playing around with wordpress again, i think it’s pretty good for a non-techie person like me, i like it.

          No, I will contact few people on Mastodon that play with it and offer webhosting.

          As some of them said that it is the best way to support the running of the instance - make them business so they can run fediverse on side.
