16 <p>I first thought about writing this after I submitted my Discord server to Disboard and it wasn't accepted for months. I looked at the Disboard support server and many people were complaining. Disboard implemented a completely pointless review process that causes random delays for approval. Of course there is nothing surprising here, this is just what modern scum (members of depraved modern culture) do. It is their nature to impose senseless policies that make people's lives miserable. In my experience, the only solution to modern scum ruining things that I need is for me to implement a sane alternative. Hence Disearch.</p> 16 <p>I first thought about writing this after I submitted my Discord server to Disboard and it wasn't accepted for months.

18 <p>There is a slight chance that Disearch might actually make money. It would have to become popular which would require marketing and luck. The users of Disboard or Disearch are modern scum themselves, so it doesn't bother them that Disboard has insane policies. Yes some of the server owners who aren't getting listed may get mad and switch, but server owners already listed in Disboard and regular users who just surf Discord would have no reason to switch. So money is not a big motivation for this project.</p> 18 <p>There is a slight chance that Disearch might actually make money. It would have to become popular which would require marketing and luck.

20 <p>In the end, my biggest reason for starting this project is to provide a good open-source example of <a href="http://www.reactionary.software/">reactionary software</a> written in <a href="http://www.luan.software/">Luan</a>. I wrote Luan and other reactionary software for my own use. My view is that it is unlikely that almost any of the 8 billion pieces of human garbage that infest my world would have any interest in good software. But others have pointed out that I should at least provide an example of what my software can do. So here you go.</p> 20 <p>In the end, my biggest reason for starting this project is to provide a good open-source example of <a href="http://www.reactionary.software/">reactionary software</a> written in <a href="http://www.luan.software/">Luan</a>.

22 <p>Since this last reason is my real reason for starting Disearch, I have no reason to finish it and make it a polished website. And in fact I have done zero work on aesthetics. I also only implemented the very core functionality in order to demonstrate the Luan features that would be needed to implement the remaining functionality. So in effect, Disearch is both example code and a programming exercise left to anyone who wants to learn reactionary programming.</p> 22 <p>Since this last reason is my real reason for starting Disearch, I have no reason to finish it and make it a polished website.
