code has been open for about 10 years. it was a binary blob to begin with but nowadays it's all here
Fair enough, last I heard it wasn't, and they certainly continue to talk like it isn't. It feels like maybe the shutdown post might've been a good place to try to spread some awareness of this fact as it might be something people losing access to the service might be interested in.
i mean the main reason they don't really advertise it as being self-hostable is the social aspect. the recommendation part doesn't work if everyone is on their own instance. not that i know anyone that uses the recommendations. it looks like that's the only thing they'll keep running though...
So what you're saying is that somebody needs to integrate it into the Fediverse.
personally i couldn't care less about the social features of a bookmarking service.
