"I can't link this, it doesn't fit within my corporate values!"
Yeah that's why I'm here. The name makes this place much more difficult for corpo scum to infest it.
Most of us know to expect this to stay another largely pointless, niche project with little broad impact.
We're not hitting 100k MAU, we're not improving the internet, we're not dethroning reddit. We're just existing alongside them, in their shadow, with a slow front page of largely mid nonsense that sticks around for a couple days, with several communities' comments mostly coming from 1-5 "power"-users.
And people want it to stay that way.
