    I don’t see this as a viable concept, as much as I’d like it to be.

    I damn sure don’t want to be the sysadmin responsible for the content in that wretched hive of scum and villainy, not with the minefield that is s230 if you’re not a giant platform, or without running uploads thru corp photo identification products.

    The legal structure is such that running it would be perilous.

        What’s the value in an open sourced centralized service? Aren’t you just looking for a free service?

          I’m not them, but the ability to contribute and extend the functionality of the product, whether I ever do it or not, is important to me. As is licensing. I want to build my self hosted stack on things that a company inherently can’t take away when they want more profit. With open source, I can go figure out how to build old code myself once I have the code. With closed source, I can’t download old binaries if they take them off of their website.
