Wow.. that's soooo much like https://canv.as/x/everything https://canv.as/x/everything (aka the site built by 4chan moot).
Besides there is so many of such sites already, it makes me sad to think that resources are wasted there instead of on Diaspora (or other "usefull" stuff).
- rrbrambley 14y agoYeah... that was my first thought – looks like a canv.as competitor. However, I do not think it's sad in any way. In my book, entertainment is is useful.
- thinkingisfun 14y agoAs a big diaspora fan I was confused and dismayed by this at first. Then I realized they simply made another app based on what they learned/coded for diaspora, not "going into a new direction" or anything. THEN I tried it out, and remember that I'm a hobby photographer and started uploading some with captions. Now it's actually growing on me. Sure, it's not any "new big thing", but it's fine, and light-hearted and simple. It's always good to make more than just one app, right? You never know what you'll learn. Also, all work and no play makes people poopyheads. I just wish it had a way to link it with diaspora profiles, so diaspora could gain some users through it :)
- mnicole 14y agoCanvas is a lot more fun because it adds a level of playful interaction (stickers) and brings along a known-for-lulz community (4chan and by proxy Reddit) that Makr.io doesn't. My problem with Makr is that if it's trying to create memes, not only is the audience terrible at choosing photos, but the design isn't even using Impact (which may seem silly on the surface, but ensures the content is read to be funny/sarcastic). In this sense, it reminds me more of an LJSecret's Pinterest, and these two audience types don't blend well together at a social level, so I'm not sure how a a platform catering to both of them will do over time.
