does it make sense to have a "social" network that in essence is _only_ a directory? looking up someone works well, and links to some external site. full stop

- idontwantthis 2y agoI’d love something like that. Ultra low cost and simple. But I don’t know if it really has a purpose.
- 1659447091 2y agoThis reminds me of Hotline[0]. Chat, message board, file sharing. Late 90's, early 2000's, but apparently there is still a small community around it going. Super easy to run your own server to host content from a desk/laptop and super easy to use a client to visit other servers. You could find servers using trackers (name severs that kept track of hotline servers) or keep the server private and only give out the server info to people you want.
