Ephemera. I miss living in New York City because of the street art. The web would benefit from open air ephemerality. Real ephemerality, not "your photos and videos disappear to our digital vault, probably forever." Also: > Passwords are optional. This makes me happy.

This sentiment is actually what originally drew me to places like 4chan on the internet. If you miss it, you just miss it. I felt like I legit HAD to be on the board or else I would miss the best joke or thread. No idea what that's called. Maybe hipsterism? I liked to know that what I'm seeing is authentic, real, and limited (even if it was technically available to everyone in the world).

Conversely, that feeling is what turned me off 4chan (and incidentally snapchat). I prefer to read the cream of the crop on best of 4chan threads elsewhere. Different strokes I guess

Yeah, I had a question around how to stop people from claiming "legit" brands and bashing them? I could easily see someone take a brand like Uber or Airbnb and start creating content that could get the actual brand in legit trouble. Cool concept though! I like the simplicity.

If the brand has no affiliation with the person who posted the content, how is the brand getting in trouble? I for one am not too worried about "legit" brands being squatted. No sane person thinks https://sdnotes.com/facebook was made by Facebook.

Facebooks' lawyers are not sane. ^__^

Good question and it's definitely a concern. For now, I'm just monitoring things manually, but certainly would need a more scalable system if the site grows.

Honestly, a more scarier concern is that there is likely to various illegal things posted on this as soon as enough people get on it.
