Hi everyone, I’m Vinay, the founder of ClubsAll. I’m happy to answer any questions and would like to address where I think ClubsAll might be misunderstood.
I completely agree with this concern. However, it’s important to note that ClubsAll is still in its infancy. We currently have around 10 upvotes on Product Hunt, with a nearly non-existent active user base or content. So even if we implement federation, the activity level would be minimal for now.
This proposal seems fair. I’d like to suggest an additional condition: “No single-direction federation of content once an instance reaches a certain level of activity, say, X posts per day.”
The reasoning here is that new and small instances like ClubsAll need time to grow and develop their features before being subjected to such rules. This approach ensures that very young instances aren’t immediately blocked, especially when they might not have much content anyway.
There’s also been talk about defederation. I want to be transparent – ClubsAll is bootstrapped and we have invested a lot of money and sweat to help the community. Right now even my developer has moved on, so new development has halted. This is why I was forced to launch.
If the community chooses to turn against ClubsAll, it won’t survive. That said, I’ll leave the decision to you. Defederation would immediately kill it. If defederation is the path chosen, then so be it.
Instant distrust there
If you assume that investment returns are only in dollars, then yes. Investments can be into non profits, communities etc. with non monetary returns like creating a community, gratification and so on. In this case, my long term goal (return?) is de-enshittification of reddit and hopefully more later on.
Hello,
As stated on the other thread, do you know when you'll be able to open source the project? Also, why were you forced to release it when your developer left?
Open sourcing is not time dependent. I just need
The source not being open will not prevent attackers from trying to hack your website as it currently online.
If you need help with having a look at the code, you can probably reach out to people here. You might want to shut the website down during the review so that if an issue is discovered it won’t be exploited.
Agreed, closed source is not a guarantee, but it does help. We are not hacked so far, so that's good enough for me :-)
I have asked in this and other thread. Should I make a new post?
Making a new thread would probably be better, as it would have much higher visibility than a comment here :)
