News and Discussions about Reddit

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules


Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.



Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

With previous Rexit's like the API debarcle etc. many users were left looking for an alternative, but with decision fatigue and bad UX etc. most did not find the Fediverse a viable option.

What needs to still improve, how can we be ready this time?

I've been doing something that could be called preparing. I've been messing with this idea for decentralizing the user identity there by decoupling the posts and users from the platform and even potentially eliminating the concept of a platform.

I called it userless because there are no users in the database.

Tbh I'd like for this to gain some smidgen of use,, it's more of a technical explanation for me atm.

So it's sort of a general use tripcode system? It's an interesting concept, what do you imagine the front end for such a system looking like, if you're moving away from the concept of a platform?

So far I've created a 4chan and Reddit clone. I'm also planning a peer to peer web app, and a standalone aggregator software written in flutter dart.

Edit: just read up on tripcodes, it's primitive and elegant, I like it.

Is there already a live instance?

[–] danhab99@programming.dev 1 points 1 week ago

There is not

I need to come up with a solution for registration and validation that I feel safe with. I don't feel personally comfortable hosting user generated content yet, but once I work out things like verifying emails and doing appropriate CYA then I'll deploy an instance. I already have userless.xyz locked down.

I'm also missing some features like sponsoring anonymous keys and now I'm working on the decentralized peer-to-peer protocol which I might be more comfortable deploying an instance of.

There's still so much more to do

I have a 1Gbps connection and a few TBs of storage to contribute with - technically - but I don't have the time to moderate...

Unfortunately Those kind of resources cannot be really used unless you're very trusted by an admin

I understand. But also, on a personal level, I don't know how I would deal with legal matters if and when people started sharing illegal data on my server. So, that's another obstacle.
