History will be the judge, and so far it's looking very promising given our progress.","comments":[{"id":48232129,"user":"16bitvoid","time":1779425744,"time_ago":"3 days ago","type":"comment","content":"

What does your progress have to do with the name? You're so defensive that you're reasoning with non sequiturs.","comments":[{"id":48232242,"user":"sanity","time":1779426836,"time_ago":"3 days ago","type":"comment","content":"

What would your success metric be for whether reusing the name was the right decision?","comments":[{"id":48232553,"user":"16bitvoid","time":1779430041,"time_ago":"3 days ago","type":"comment","content":"

Community size and positive community feedback, which is somewhat tangential to progress, which I assume is in the context of development. Also, the rate at which the original freenet community declines.

Number of contributors or pull requests isn't a good metric at the moment since the advent of Claude Code et al. has seen a dramatic uptick in both everywhere.","comments":[{"id":48232774,"user":"sanity","time":1779432210,"time_ago":"3 days ago","type":"comment","content":"

How is it tangential? Technical success is the primary driver of community growth, adoption, and long-term viability. The more it can do, and the better it does it, the more people will use it.","comments":[{"id":48235319,"user":"16bitvoid","time":1779455041,"time_ago":"2 days ago","type":"comment","content":"

Community growth might imply technical success (debatable), but technical success does not imply community growth.

You can have a very technically successful project, but it doesn't mean it'll be used.","comments":[{"id":48235654,"user":"sanity","time":1779456907,"time_ago":"2 days ago","type":"comment","content":"
