I would be interested in a project like this if it were a distributed network.

It's important to ensure that accumulated community knowledge will survive, and conversations can continue, when an instance dies or becomes intolerable. (Reddit and Stack Exchange have recently brought this into sharp focus.) It's so important that I no longer contribute to sites like this unless they provide those assurances.

So I hope this one develops into something that meets that need.

This is a very fair point and I agree that a solid, proven assurance of information survivability is vital to something like this. Frankly, though, if StackExchange is shitting the bed (as it seems to be if GenAI is being accepted there) then I think it's important to get a good alternative running regardless. Still, that in turn makes it all the more important to keep the pressure up on the survivability issue so it doesn't get ignored.
