He did the research. This is no different than Truth Social or Gabb, where off the shelf platforms already do all these things.

If this guy hosts it all himself, and doesn’t federate it, then that’s literally what already exists out there. He doesn’t want to leave the walled garden. He wants his own walled garden, and for you to plant flowers there.

Nice to have you back!

For rate limits, I would ask that you please add a cooldown counter to know how long to sit out. I also didn’t know no URLs were allowed and tried to paste a link, which didn’t paste. So I try and edit it to not be a URL, no go (which I’m sort of OK with, but broken up URLs might be nice). Then in that and trying to ask “hey, can we not post links here?” I got throttled to the point I wasn’t sure how long I needed to wait around. If it’s a minute, I’ll wait. If I somehow hit 10 minutes or something, that’s crazy.

I do want to commend you for translating emojis to emoticons. That’s very classy.

Can you tell us from a privacy perspective, what records and data you collect? I assume IP address and logs of the text. What else? Browser data? Just curious.
