Man, what if Jesus didn't care if you called him Krishna? Read the parable of the Good Samaritan. Samaritans were the people of Israel; like you know about the two kingdoms, Israel and Judah, and the Assyrians? Assyria exiled the northern Israelites, which is where you get the lost tribes. Then later the Babylonians exiled the southern people of Judah. When the Jewish Babylonian exiles came back, there were Israelites living in the northern kingdom again, the Samaritans. But the Jewish people returning from Babylon were like "Fuck you, you guys are imposters. You say you are our people but you are fake foreigners that were assigned to live here by the Assyrians or something and then you started worshipping our god, which is weird, but it's not good enough." So to the people of Jesus's time and culture, Samaritans were a metaphor for people who have the "wrong" religion. Jesus said be like them. Have the wrong religion. Have the wrong label. Just be nice. When you meet someone on the road who needs help, help them out. Listen to the Beatles, man. Stop living in fear.
There is a lot of important stuff written on these bathroom walls of the internet. A lot of important memories. Even if someone made a fancier, more modern version of the app, without the database, without the content, you'd lose those memories. You'd lose some crazy fad-lover's magnum opus, ya know?
I don't know max that well. I asked him to play D&D with me once and he sounded ambivalent.
But I'll tell max on Discord that I'd like to write a social media app in Laravel 10. If he wants he can be in charge of the project. If he's not interested, I'll just make it for the fun of it. And I'll post it to GitHub with the MIT license and anyone can check it out and use what parts they like. But if max lets me know the structure of ytmnd's database, I will base the data models on that structure so hopefully he could just import his database into it. I don't know where max stores his image files and stuff. I'll write the app to store them in AWS S3.
There are other content-sharing sites, sure. But I don't know of any that have as many famery-gais and darthwangs. I just want a place for us to have a group to post jokes to.
And I will say this, if I make another site, or if max made me boss of ytmnd, I would label things better so there's less uncovered NSFW stuff. But I will chill out about moon crew. If some moon dude wants to make sites, I won't ban them. Hate cannot drive out hate.
You know, I can program. Like I know Php, MySQL, modern frameworks, junk like that. And max seems like maybe he doesn't care about ytmnd at this point. Like he stopped caring a long time ago.
If I made a similar kind of content-sharing platform, with a few more modern features, what would you think about that? Would you want to try posting content somewhere else?
You know, for a while, a couple of years ago, max invited me to the private developer channel where he hangs out in Discord. You know what he's doing in there? Mostly talking about video games with his buddies, from what I saw.
And I love max. All of us that enjoyed ytmnd have him to thank. But with great power comes great spiderman stuff. You want the youth of the early 2000's to fall in love with what you're doing? You gotta put in the effort. If you don't believe in yourself, if you blow it off, you're kinda going to break a lot of hearts.

I'm your ch-ch-ch-cherry bomb
KKK
Enjoy a Filet-O-Fish today
Moonman coming at ya
With the power play
KKK
Raps that pay
In a moonmansion
Being gay is okay
KKK
On a burning crusade
Ya trying to get to hellfire peninsula?
I’m trying to get laid
Want some McNuggets?
Sucka can’t touch it
I eat what I like
Even late at night
I used to be McEvil
Now I fight for right
Like a beast of the night
I rock Satyāgraha tight
KKK
Hare Krishna Rama
I joined a cult
And banged yo mama
KKK
All night and all day
They served me a subpoena
Which is odd because I’m just a hyena
KKK
Is on the way
Let me hear you say
Equal rights, equal pay
My beard is green
My eyes are mean
My hair is orange
…uh…rap over
but much that once was is lost, for none now live who remember it
