Not to be confused with Apache Cassandra, an open source distributed database management system designed to handle large amounts of data across commodity servers.
The font used for its logo is probably Cronos Bold Italic.
Cassy redirects here.
Not to be confused with the Apache Cassandra database, the CQL query language, Project Cassandra, or Project Cassandra (literature).
This page was mirrored and forked from the SaidIt.net/s/Cassy sidebox.
This article ceased development 2023-04-12 until updated 2024-07-15.
This article needs revising and updating.


What comes after SaidIt.net?


Why "Cassy"?

Oil painting on canvas of ‘Cassandra of Troy’, circa 1800s.

Cassandra is an ancient Greek figure who foretold great doom, yet no one believed her, though tragically she was always correct.

"Cassandra is a mouthful, Cassy is better," said /u/AmericanMuskrat, unfairly banished (and restored), exemplifying the need to evolve beyond the limitations of SaidIt. The shorter name is also reflective of the Lemmy platform, a federated decentralized Reddit-like forum.


SaidIt issues

SaidIt was a news aggregation forum for truth-seeking and free-thinking, but its issues have festered as a refuge for those banned from Reddit (good, bad, and ugly), and the stagnant, uninspired, and absent management has allowed the site to forum-slide into nasty chaos on par with Voat, Poal, and 4Chan.

And then there's the mismanagement...


Cassy priorities

1) Discuss ethical social management ideas: goals, manifestos, fair forums, rules, community guidelines, protocols template sets, access, anonymity, security, self-regulation, defense against spam, sealioning, & STABs (shills, trolls, & bots), backups, public relations strategies, priorities, to-do-lists, etc.

2) Discuss decentralized/distributed platform/client options and their pros and cons.

3) Discuss set up, trouble shooting, technical issues, assistance, administration, moderation, etc + customising the flow, form (GUI), and functionality.

4) Discuss anon solutions. All things related to being anonymous (or not), building bonds, and maintaining trust with reasonable cyber-hygiene security precautions - without giving anything away.

We hope SaidIt, Matrix.Gvid.TV, RabbitHole.wf, other forums, & developers might freely chime in &/or adopt some of these open good ideas from these hopeful & wishful discussions to improve life & liberty & fairness.


Help plan our next steps beyond SaidIt.

Cassy is for discussing decentralized forum/fora options, federation vs distribution, & planning our community's next steps.

We obviously have problems, but we're working on solutions.

/s/Cassy should not be confused with the vapourware development in /s/PhoenixForum for dreaming our hypothetical our next-generation forum's ideals, form, & functions.
