Neat! I’d sign up if there was an option to throw a few bucks your way and have absolutely guaranteed zero tracking, ads, or sharing/use of my data for anything other than what’s strictly necessary to run the site itself.
I wouldn't mind ads if they were static or, at worst, .gif. No tracking, no javascript, just a simple banner.

I live and breathe on the internet and have never been moderated once, even freely expressing myself, insulting people who deserve it, etc. My point here is that if you think the current social media options have "heavy handed" moderation, you're probably the problem, not them.
Not an SJW here, actually a political minority here ... i see a moderate amount of moderation and banning pf groups where i hang. Sure its not china but we are not using that asa standard .. and mate thats a ton of shaming in your tone .. please consider showing some compassion. I fail to see how his comment provoked yours ..
Hah people still use this term unironically?

I have controversial views (the EM Drive works! Sport is the opiate of the masses!) but I seem to get along just fine on social media. It’s really only the people who have boring, discredited political views who have problems.
> I have controversial views This is nowhere controversial. Try to be a constitutional originalist in the Sillicon Valley / tech sites, and we'll continue this conversation...

That just means your views are not very controversial (most people’s aren’t). The argument you’re making is just a different face of the “I have nothing to hide” in the privacy debates.

I'm curious, is password storage using 2007 techniques too? Or are things like that a little more up-to-date? :P
I never used MySpace, but this looks cool! Good idea to build off the nostalgia. Just on first glance, I noticed you're using URLs like https://spacehey.com/profile?id=123 for accessing profiles. That seems like a bad idea, using increasing numbers for pages in general is not great, because it makes it easy to scrape for every user on the site. Why not switch to something like a UUID or random base64 code?
I don't know how that happened, but I suspect the new owner was pulling profit out of it to support their other flailing divisions, rather than let them reinvest to finish their music platform.
They literally had all the pieces on the platform side, and it was without question the platform of choice for pretty much every independent musical artist.
Anyone have the inside story?
