Welcome to Codidact, the community-run, open-source Q&A platform. We’re working together to build communities around high-quality, peer-reviewed questions, answers, articles, and other content. Codidact puts people first; we’re here to help you share knowledge and get curated answers in a friendly environment.
I would be interested in a project like this if it were a distributed network.
It’s important to ensure that accumulated community knowledge will survive, and conversations can continue, when an instance dies or becomes intolerable. (Reddit and Stack Exchange have recently brought this into sharp focus.) It’s so important that I no longer contribute to sites like this unless they provide those assurances.
So I hope this one develops into something that meets that need.
Looks like it was discussed and then deferred

This is a very fair point and I agree that a solid, proven assurance of information survivability is vital to something like this. Frankly, though, if StackExchange is shitting the bed (as it seems to be if GenAI is being accepted there) then I think it’s important to get a good alternative running regardless. Still, that in turn makes it all the more important to keep the pressure up on the survivability issue so it doesn’t get ignored.
Well put and I couldn’t agree more. Feels like I’ve been waiting for years for something to have that ‘survival’ problem solved
I’d also like to see something like this for the Internet Archive. Essentially a federated archive.
Yeah, but they’re storing so much data only orgs with a lot of funding could participate, so it’d still be in the hands of wealthy parties.
Ugh, no. The internet archive doesn’t care about consent enough as it is. Can you imagine how much harder it would be to get stuff taken down on a distributed network when it leads to harrassment etc?
Something built with Hyphanet, maybe?
