Support to free decentralized social network

[airon90]

Is it possible to add another variable (e.g. "decentrfederSN") in order to add a reference to the decentralized and federated social networks such as Diaspora, Friendica, ecc.

Many Pirate Parties created an account on these "piratish" social network. AFAIK here is the list:

Can I start forking to add a new variable "decentrfederSN"?

The JSON (and the API code) was designed in a way that adding new variables to the socialNetworks will not break functionality. When a new social network is added it is present in the data, returned by the API but not shown on the front-end.

If you are a first to add a new social network also update the relevant documentation (when I finally write it) because the value for a social network can either be a string (just an ID) or an object of values (like for twitter - id and hashtags)

To add diaspora just do:

"socialNetworks": { 
....
    "diaspora": "diasporaID",
....
}

Than submit an issue so that that social network is implemented on the frontend.

PS: Sorry for leaving this project hanging for 2 years. I've been doing some work on this for a while, but it's slow going. But we finally managed to organize a hackaton scheduled for this Friday that should do some major cleanup/upgrades so that this project can FINALLY be launched.

@airon90 Any chance you could add this data to the dataset? The documentation is done as well as contribute info. Just check the README.md.

[airon90]

I'll do that tomorrow ;)

[airon90]

By now I added all national accounts and left all regional and working team accounts.

I've merged your merge requests. When you're done just close the issue.

PS: If you do any more merges, please refrence the issue ID in the commit message (see my commits). Thanks!

[airon90]

Ok, thank you very much and sorry for not referencing the merges :)

[Putr]

Have all been added? Can we close this issue?

[airon90]

No, I have to create regional parties and then add the missing data. During these days I'll do this work

[collentine]

@airon90 has this been fixed?

[airon90]

TBH I don't remember what I did and now I'm not a member anymore. I don't even have spare time so I suggest you to check every data as long as maybe some channels are unused.

decentralized social network are part of the data_specification.md, but not all from the list above are part of the dataset. so this should stay open.
