YMO is built 100% on Open Source.
The entire framework runs on open-source infrastructure— Ubuntu, Apache, Joomla, and more—powered by a collective intelligence ethos, not proprietary lock-in.
Across your community surveys, submission consistently emerges as the core resonance.
Abuse mitigation: surge of bad-actor signups (exploitation attempts).
Re-organization: sprawl of ~33,000 tags harmed clarity + performance.
Stability: backups grew to ~7 hrs; ops tuning before scaling again.
New registrations: sealed
Current members: unaffected
Privacy preserved: local hosting, no surveillance clouds
Security hardening: ACL review, throttles, entry-gate tuning
Content refactor: merging tags, restructuring categories
Ops tuning: incremental backups + DB maintenance
When Tumblr removed adult and erotic content in 2018, YMO cleared space and maintained backups of every connected Tumblr in our community.
This ensured that creators, artists, and contributors retained continuity of their work and identity, despite the platform purge.
We continue to maintain secure archives of other communities and platforms, stored in non-web-accessible locations.
These archives exist to safeguard contributions against erasure by “new corporate policy” or sudden deplatforming. Community talent is preserved as a living memory, not subject to the whims of external ownership.
YMO never transmitted demographic data to megacorps.
Megacorp code was sanitized from the start — no personal tracking, no fingerprinting.
When recent releases required invasive defaults, YMO opted out completely. Instead, we use Clicky.com — a small business, privacy-respecting provider. We would rather provide privacy than be 'highly visible' on searches. Engagement is local, self-controlled, anonymized, and never monetized or sold.
