Could you build this?
Partial The community structure, channels, roles, and messaging are vibe-codeable, but reliable real-time voice and video rooms at scale require specialized media infrastructure.
What it would actually take: A basic version can use a managed WebRTC SDK such as LiveKit or Agora for voice and video, with a standard web and database stack for servers, spaces, and messages. Scaling real-time media, handling moderation, and keeping latency low across regions needs infrastructure expertise in SFUs, TURN servers, and distributed systems. Those are the hard parts.
