Should /u/diogenesjunior be un-banned? I've lost a friend. I don't know the details: who where when what how why. This is a serious problem on SaidIt.

And we need public relations, media, and original content. I'm working on these AND the bureaucracy / infrastructure to manage them. /s/GlossedAndProfound and /s/BittersweetSeeds will be dusted off and improved along with the new /s/LeverMind

What I'd do with the saidit code is start trimming it down and I've mentioned it before, removing subs. Makes more sense to spawn individual Saidit instances instead as needed, which would require more growth to require.

Some sort of rss vis text mail and confirmed by trusted nodes or something could propagate updates to the instances in a decentralized fashion. Just spit balling here, but why bother with a reddit clone when we can move towards a reddit improvement.

I like Power Board forum features too, nicer profiles, better mentions and built in thread tracking, better mod tools, built in web kb.... But also at the same time a reddit stripped down to bare function. Lots of functionality, as little overhead as possible.

The code is not this problem, but is limited in other ways. The database is another thing. M7D3 years ago said they didn't want to mess with the subs for "open transparency" reasons, because if they started fucking with them people might accusing them of deception and such. Admin this but not that? That never made sense to me.

As I've stated before, I'm all in favour of a new rule that all empty subs older than a set period (ie. 2 months seem more than enough time) will be auto-deleted. Hopefully they could be recreated or unhidden if necessary. That should cut down a huge amount.

If we want to cut down even more detritus we could have a sub dedicated to reporting sub nominations for deletion because they have so few and/or old and/or nonsense and/or troll stuff. I don't think it's possible under our limited resources but I'd love to see some subs merged. ie. /s/CorruptScience is a better name than my /s/OpenScience_Scientism or that there are /s/PS1 /s/PS2 /s/PS3 /s/PS4 /s/PS5 /s/PSX (I haven't looked to see if these are active or not, I don't do games).

I don't understand any of this but it seems very interesting. Could you please restate it differently? Maybe like I'm five?

I was just thinking a new forum codebase would be nice, stealing all the nice features I like from various other places.

Although I mentioned ProBoard, which the site I was thinking of moved to Ip.Board by Invision. I know you're not a gamer, but check out gtaforums.com.

I've mentioned this to d3rr many times. If we could find a more modern FLOSS and ideally decentralize forum software with an active global coder support base, then all we'd have to do is export the database (obviously easier said than done). Preferably in preferences we could choose our forum GUI - such as appearing like Reddit/SaidIt, Facebook, or in some other format.

Hmm, could use a blockchain to verify identity too. People love when you shoehorn crypto technology into apps.

I like the sounds of this Stacks thing.
