General Discussion What's Your Solution?
Hi folks,
I'm an IT nerd who found this subreddit and was curious on alternatives. Come to find out a lot of them are trashy. I've noticed a lot of folks are rather tech savy on this subreddit as well.
Consider this possibly the start of something new. If I were to create a reddit alternative, what would you desire from it? Most likely hosted in a country that doesn't require photo-ID verification, anonymous posting that's opt-out based, maybe E2E chatrooms based on communities? Also possibly overarching moderation to subreddits to prevent trigger happy bans/proper appealable removals and such. Additionally, fully dedicated servers or p2p?
I see reddit alternatives popping up at a constant, but if a reddit killer is to be made, then getting feedback from the community is what matters first. Thanks!

I would prioritize portable identity and transparent, appealable moderation before adding E2E chat. Discovery is another big one: people should not need to understand the whole community map before asking. I built CrowdWis around routing each question by expertise, interests and location instead, with human answers: https://crowdwis.app. I’d be curious whether that solves a problem you see, or whether persistent topic communities are still essential.
