Is there any disadvantages of getting Quora-like community which might affect Codidact
I was going to proposing a Quora-like community. But, I have seen the proposal now. I have some reason why we need Quora-like community (not completely Quora). Is there any disadvantages for Quora-like community?
Someone might say it is copy-paste idea of Quora.
So, Codidact is copy-paste idea of SE. Do you have any excuse on it?
I didn't know what information should I include. So, I had post the question with less context.
Actually, here I mentioned Quora-like community not Quora (which can be similar to Quora). Quora focuses on following things.
- Knowledge (I am giving it priority for my proposal #1).
- Funny-facts (Don't need).
- Programming (We already have Software Development CD #2).
- Photography (#2).
- Life (#1)
- Community, Society (#1).
- Racism, Rapist and, some more. (don't have idea).
- Improvement in society/country/world...... (#1).
- Book Suggestion (#1) (Mostly, off-topic in most of sites. So, I am putting it in Quora-like community).
- Different problem help (#2).
- Life Partner (Don't need).
As far as I know I have left lot more. But, I forgot now.

No, Codidact is not a copy/paste of Stack Exchange.
The problem is that people say "Codidact is a copy/paste of Stack Exchange". but, personally, I would say no. For many reasons, 1. Open Source, 2. Non-Profit, 3. Community-Based.
Is there any disadvantages for Quora-like community?
I will summarize all disadvantages.
1. Open, open too much, open become dangerous.
Well, as far as I know, the Codidact Terms of Service say that you must be at least 13 years old, same as Quora. But there's a lot of inappropriate content out there, because Quora is open, and it's just too open. Personally, I wouldn't be happy if Codidact becomes like Quora or even has a community like it, and would likely leave.
2. Too General
I'm much happier with divided communities than with an entirely general community. Segmenting people from together will help you get quick answers, your question won't get lost with other questions, and you'll find something to answer quickly. If we create one community only, people probably won't use Codidact for work, I won't be in my office and other people looking at your screen might not see that you're only trying to solve a programming issue, and there is all topics.
3. No rules
Quora has no rules. Before I joined Stack Exchange, I joined Quora, for the same reason, a general community, but things weren't as I imagined: there are no rules, anyone can post anything, anytime and sorry, it's useless platform. As much as I hate Stack Exchange, but I love Stack Exchange 10x better than Quora or any other platform, because there are rules, people don't walk like useless people in society.
I need rules, neither too open nor too restrictive, something like partially open, simply as we are.
Maybe there is many other rules that I didn't mention, but those are the most important points.
That is the all points why a Quora-like community would be useless.
