It’s unclear to me what you’re trying to achieve, and it seems like a counterproductive way to go about it, prone to failure, and needlessly expensive for anything of moderate size.
You’re probably over indexing on the importance of downvotes if you’re just doing this for yourself. If you’re looking to make something actually useful to everyone, votes are probably an indicator of interest.
Personally, I read the readme and concluded that that project wasn’t worth my time given the model and AI generated walls of text to tell me it has mobile accessible webpages and end to end encryption. Neither of which is a significant or revolutionary feature in 2025(almost 26) and are basically expectations.

That might be true, but claiming that people only moved because they were propagandized into doing so by a for-profit company is absurd.

This is incredibly reductive and at best looking at mumble through Rose tinted glasses.
Mumble has had a rocky past as a useful piece of software and it’s absolutely not been a discord competitor any more than TeamSpeak is a discord competitor.
Maybe it’s changed recently, but mumble has not had the feature set that made discord useful in the first place.
- Comment on Is there any way the average American can insulate themselves from the AI bubble bursting? 2 months ago:
I don’t know that the OP or anyone else necessarily disagrees with you here. It’s one of the reasons that I believe we’re fucked when the bubble pops. Every other sector is shrinking otherwise, which is only making the mania more extreme.
Trump has fucked the economy, but I don’t expect the next administration to be able to pull off a miracle and fix the mess we’ve created within the next 10 years. Foreign relations and our status as the reserve currency are shot to hell. The US is going to have to answer for our behavior.
- Comment on Can't argue that. 3 months ago:
From a completely unscientific but ‘experienced’ perspective I think the problem is that life just gets in the way as you get older, and you prioritize your own life rather than trying to learn.
Whether neuroplasticity means you can learn things later or not, the opportunity to learn things later just isn’t there without effort.
Having a job, kids, a mortgage and no social obligation to learn in a structured and organized way probably impacts you more than anything neurological.

Are atanmodernism and cscmodernism a thing?
