> some sort of mirror platform with the same profiles, same data and as much of the algorithm as possible No offense, but you’ve just distilled the blindspot behind a lot of social startup ideas. Good communities are not a product of technology or data. Technology and data facilitate different cost and scaling opportunities, but are just the bones upon which a community might be built. This community is good because of excellent human involvement through dang (and others at YC) and through the luck of having the right, responsible users around so far. There’s no recreating it. Sometimes, you just have to enjoy things while they exist and then let go of them once they don’t.
