Why reinvent the wheel? Let's first free SaidIt from it's centralized stranglehold under M7 and the limits of the old-Reddit code. Once we're in a decentralized federation we can work on new features, better social management, and maybe even design and build a new better next-gen forum - or all of the above.

IMO, it's a pointless exercise in ego unless you decentralize. Either you don't want to share admin powers in a federation or clearly you don't have faith in our project. I'm not making anything because I can't and I won't. I'm not I.T. but I can try to help. /u/LarrySwinger2 says he's doing something sometime somehow but so far we're over 2 months in and we have nothing to show you. He did get the wiki back up though. Perhaps you can help me figure out why I can't connect the DNS.

If we had a Lenny forum, MediaWiki, PeerTube, and a web-scraping archival thing, it would be nice to have them all decentralized with bridging between the related platforms plus whatever tweaks, features, etc that need to be addressed and developed. That is where the true innovation is.

I don't think you should do it for several reasons.

• You won't have an instant following just because you came from SaidIt or because you're an admin here.
• Like it or not, you already have several issues and a history here that stacks up against you.
• "Intelligent debate" is extremely subjective. I'm here for ideas, info, and community and generally avoid debate.
• Going it alone is not what community is about. M7 doesn't seem to get this. Drop the ego and be a team player.
• If you can't code in a team then fork from something like Lemmy/Lenny so they can reverse engineer it back into the fold if your improvements are good.
• Most importantly: Your coding skills can be MUCH better utilized fixing and developing other things.
• Build some new features for SaidIt, such as a sub-filter that allows "X" number of posts on /s/All from extra-popular subs.
