retoor4999hI, myself prefer a self hosted open source community application. This to ensure that culture stays the same and is not dominated by other platforms culture. I love the no-moderation devRant and the way how we vote.

Why deleting? Information should be preserved.
There were good thoughts in the deleted rant and now we need to write it again… -
Let‘s consider reddit: We could have a subreddit and a post structure much like rants and comments.
Can we really assume that it will be corrupted by reddit culture? Isn‘t it depending on the particular subreddit and their users?
We can also leave it unmoderated I think.
A quick search for reddit alternatives yealded some results:
* Lemmy
* Kbin
* Mastodon
What about those?
I think those can be self hosted.
I like developing own stuff but at the same time, it‘s a lot of work and there seem to be already existing solutions that we could utilize. -
@Lensflare I don't think reddit is a good idea. They have global mods and discovery mechanisms so random reddit weirdos will come by
They also censor on a site-wide basis. I would have been banned 4 times for some of the stuff i've been saying on here lol -
For now I would stay on devRant though until its really dead
We're already a small community, if we start making new derivative forums we would just fragment the community to extinction -
@Lensflare probably Lemmy could be a good option. It's basically reddit but selfhosted. I never used it though.
-
Coming from you, it's not really in good faith. I gave your snek platform more than a good shot, and it's just disappointing.
On another topic, we already have @vintprox chat room, which at least isn't infested by AI bots yet. -
@Lensflare yeah my favourite subreddit has been banned like 7 times and they have to pre approve all posts cuz reddit literally won't stop doing various forms of shadow banning on the sub. you can't even find it now but they're still on the chopping block. THERE'S DEMAND BUT NOOO
God don't put anything on reddit -
@Lensflare reddit is a cesspool and the boss is a scum. Not even for political reason, reddit's evil.

If any of your are on the fediverse, I'm @djsumdog@djsumdog.com. (It's my Pleroma server, but you can follow it from Mastodon .. if your server doesn't block mine(
I use the fediverse more than anything else these days, and even then I don't use it that much. -
I know it's probably stupid idea but I'm just an over-enthusiast wanna be entrepreneur so really sorry for sharing it here but I created a community on my platform (which is still in closed beta) xD

I deleted my previous Rant. Lets try another way.
devRant is now literally dying. We need a new clubhouse. Please think with me, what are options?
