## 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, Codidact - Terms of Service, says 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, likely I'll leave.
### 2. Too General
I'm much happier with divided communities than with an entire 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 Codedact 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 join Stack Exchange, I joined Quora, for the same reason, 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 from 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 close, something like partial 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 Quora like community would be useless.~~

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.
