Konishi's not Kamina

[msz]

I'm no longer the project owner but I still watch this and I saw General Philosophy questions #4 #5 #6 being opened. These worried me because all three statements are against the original goals of the project. Now, as I said, I'm no longer the project owner and you guys can do whatever you want, but I thought it could be confusing for someone if they find early design documents for Konishi and see a completely different project. Or if they ask why Konishi is called Konishi.

To clarify, the main idea behind Konishi was to be a direct clone of a Facebook group (not: Facebook), but standalone, to make the transition for users as seamless as possible. This is still mentioned in the README here and explained in detail in the Konishi manifesto.

This means Konishi is not meant to be a social network, just a discussion group (at least in phase one). There are no friend connections, no personal profile posts, no private messages, no groups and no pages. Anonymity and decentralization go directly against the project goals, because they both increase development time and increase transition friction (Facebook groups don't have these features). The Konishi prototype created by Zeth requires the user to supply their first and last name, to keep it consistent with Facebook.

There was a project to create a next generation social network which is anonymous and decentralized social network, and it was called Kamina. Why not use that name instead to avoid confusion?
