Course code

Looks like 4chan with no images which is a good thing.

Is this thing open source?

Hi! So it's not open source and actually, you can also publish images if needed, here's an example!

Are there any specific reasons why the site isn't open-source? I see the site makes an effort to respect the privacy of users and many times those go together.

I've seen reasonable arguments for people deciding not to go open-source, but I think it does raise the question what's preventing this site from becoming the next reddit if it gets enough traction?

For me so far it's like and interesting middle point between 4chan and reddit so far.

I don't think the issue with 4chan is the images, but actually the community it has cultivated. I'm actually really excited about an image-board site that is SFW, well moderated and aimed towards good discussions. I think it could foster many of the benefits without as much toxicity

Agreed, I still find interesting discussion on 4chan from time to time, but its drowned out by the absolutely massive amount of shitposting, trolling, and other forms of attention-seeking. I truly hope this place takes off.
