reddit no longer opensource

>>62205965
Bump.

This is very important.

This just means they're introducing more spyware and to such an extent that it couldn't be kept out of public repos of the code.

lmao

>>62205965
Can it be forked?

>>62206268
But what for?

>>62205965
There's already another thread about this topic
Go here to discuss this >>62206152

>>62206284
For improving and for creating Reddit alternative websites.

>>62205965
Does anyone else use the code?

voat exists so who cares

>>62206391
Not really. What do you use it for?

>>62206299
this thread was first though. the other one is just trying to steal karma

Will 4chan ever go open source?

>>62206307
What're we going to call it?
Readdit?

>>62206608
Plebbit. Voting excluded.

>>62206621
Let's do it then.
Dibs on backend admin.

>>62206588
NO U

>>62206601
I don't think so. there's no point.

>>62206546
Futaba was open source when it was forked for Yotsuba. 4chan was never open source. There's a difference between "We're open source except we're lying about being open source" and "no we're not open source"
>>62206601
moot once said 4chan's codebase is a fucking mess and once released would be attacked relentlessly by everyone. You could ask hiroshimoot but I haven't seen him post in ages. If 4chan were to go open source, it would be a new backend to replace the existing one.

>>62206738
Especially when there are many better shitposting engine.

>>62206413

I didn't know this was a thing

...and then improved by /g/.

They have to learn their lesson too about microsoft pricing.

Reddit is literary SJWs central and they do what they like how they like it.

>moot once said 4chan's codebase is a fucking mess
when was this? pretty sure it's been refactored around the time the API came out (2012).
but before that apparently it was powered by a monolithic 3k lines php file

I've not ever seen a single reddit instance in the wild that was not reddit.com

Who uses their software? Serious question

>>62206825
I don't think there are any fees you have to pay other than visual studio? or what are you talking about

>we've been doing a bad job of keeping our open-source product repos up to date
This is not possible unless you're intentionally trying to do a bad job. Or you're an idiot who doesn't use version control.

>>62206973
they probably have to cherrypick each and every commit to not spill their sekrets

>>62206948
azure hosting costs a small fortune, especially with their kind of traffic.

only on /g/ is this "news"

>programming anything secure
lol

Oh god. OH MY FUCKING GOD. And I was just about to fork REDDIT codebase to make my OWN reddit and get INFINITE KARMA and REDDIT GOLD. WHY????!!!!!

>>62206420
Implying the thread's timestamp means anything to /g/. I've seen numerous daily threads split and and battle each other because the first thread image triggered g autists.
