Wisecrack921238d@Root theoretically how hard would it be to duplicate this place?
Would the energy even be the same? -
Root7744638d@Wisecrack Not difficult to get accounts, posting, voting, tagging, searching, notifications, feed, api, etc. working. (Would take time, though.) Avatars would be more difficult. The “pipeless” bit (the “subscribed” activity)… I don’t know.
I know there have been some attempts to scrape the db via api in order to preserve everything, though I don’t know how those fared.
I doubt the energy would be the same. We simply wouldn’t have the same community. -
Wisecrack921237d@retoor people in general shit on "shit culture."
But when the chips are down, they love features that let them wallow in their own shit.
So the rare quality communities remain small, while everywhere else practices imitating cancer.
You've been busy though, way busier than I would have imagined. You've built some cool shit K/retoor.
Looks like image uploading is dead again. :(
