Oh, cool. I was wondering when a better replacement for Facebook would show up.

#152I just got an error message about too many people trying to create accounts. Keep it going! I'll buy ad space if you never sell to big media.
Hard to not take those millions/billions. Here’s to hoping principles weigh more than money.

#153The rebuild doesn't appear to be using React or Angular. Keeping it true to 2007-style server-side rendering.
Isn’t it great?!

> originalist You mean the folks who think a black person is worth 3/5th of a white person? Yeah I imagine they have it rough.
You're forgetting a aspect: the Constitutional clause has been superseded by the 14th Amendment. So in this case, an originalist would rule based on the Amendment, not the just Constitution's original text. And this display a crucial point, there is a legal process to amend the Constitution not relying on a few scholars re-re-re-interpretation. I'm all for a Constitutional Amendment on abortion, as long as it's the W…
The point is that originalism relies on the idea that the Constitution was a nearly flawless document worth preserving in its original form with a couple adjustments, where in reality it was a deeply, deeply flawed document that has been patched repeatedly to a workable state but still has serious shortcomings.

> I bet you will get a job too. The same way that Hollywood is simply making remakes and people are accepting this as new. A Nuclear bomb would be nice right about now. Covid was not enough humble pie

I was at a CF conference with MySpace as a speaker and they talked about how often they went down but that they were switching to another CF engine with .net capabilities (BlueDragon). Their discussions and jokes about instability and going down due to bad code updates were really cringy and gave the impression that their platform was a mess.
I had an older friend that worked at CF when I was a teenager. He taught me a bit about relational databases and some other important stuff as he was one of the only developers I knew growing up. I remember him telling me how I was wasting my time building in php/MySQL since CF was the future and serious companies wouldn't be looking for php developers. Glad I never pulled the trigger and bought their expensive IDE.
No expensive IDE was necessary and there are open source servers now. Regardless, you made the right choice.

That is blatantly false, originalism is relying on both the Constitution + associated Constitutional Amendments. As OP mentioned, the latter are not set in stone.

The original myspace used the profile name for URLs - https://myspace.com/some_name - maybe the reboot will eventually. I tried with mine and it was a 404.
SpaceHey does too, but if you don't set one you get profile?id=$int
Ok, thanks. I set what I thought was a username during signup but looks like that was just the name. I see now there's a second step going to https://spacehey.com/settings and the username URL is working for me.

#160Someone's soon going to recreate the facebook!
Is it just me or nobody realize that the likes of MySpace started the downfall of the original Internet before it became "social media"?
Nostalgia of a simple web page is fine (and this is a nice implementation no doubt), but why recreate something that leads to something that is predictable?
Instead, recreate usenet with better privacy and mobile adoption. Usenet is what they killed before the promise of the Internet could be realized.
