   Do you have a cooI open-source / Fediverse project that is ideologically usercentric?

   I am offering my help in the marketing/PR department to projects like this that don't have regular funding (read: passion projects).

   Please send me a message, and let's talk! Also boost for higher reach, thank you!

     @sharan what do you mean by usercentric?

     @sharan That’s great!

     ❤️

     And I may know a project, but it will be a challenge …

     I’m volunteering as release manager for Hyphanet (the original Freenet, started 1999). It is strongly focused on privacy and confidential communication, where you have pseudonyms that can’t easily be traced to you and moderation is fully decentralized.

     And with the planned releases this year we want to improve talking confidentially with friends. Which isn’t convenient yet.

     @sharan But we fail at reaching more people (for the past years we’ve consistently been at about 3000 users).

     We started making friend-to-friend communication easier to use and discover, but that’s not yet release ready.

     For PR that means: how can we work on this transition to actually reach more people who want a secure channel with friends without alienating the existing users?

     The project is:

     @sharan If that sounds interesting to you *and* you don’t have a problem working with projects with slow progress (because all of the handful of core devs volunteer in their free time, besides full-time jobs, so change takes time), it would be great if you’d give it a try.
