  Oh, that's really sad. If i may, why would you consider developing software that's not free software? Also, why would you develop software to provide services for other users, that they can't selfhost if/when you're not longer hosting the service? That sounds like serious footguns/antipatterns to me, so i'm curious what's your rationale :)

    Basically I'm not clear where to go with it (if I go anywhere :p), and perhaps offer paid accounts with more features (like hosting images, videos, etc). And yes, I know this is not mutually exclusive but I dont see the point of everyone installing their own kalaksi. Its not made as something you self host for your own content but as a central platform. If I ever abandon the project, for sure the code will go open, if not before :)

      > Basically I'm not clear where to go with it (if I go anywhere :p) Well that's part of the magic of free software. You may meet people with who to figure it out on the way ;) > I dont see the point of everyone installing their own kalaksi Have you ever lost an account/service due to a service provider shutting down? If so, you probably see the point. > Its not made as something you self host for your own content but as a central platform. Too bad, the world truly needs better planet/aggregator tooling. The existing tools have mostly not evolved over the past decade. > for sure the code will go open, if not before :) i'll keep an eye open! :)
