Thanks, @cyberic@discuss.tchncs.de

Is there an alternative to reddit, like reddit was to digg?

/u/tornadobob

I'd like to see a p2p version of reddit. That would help to keep it out of the hands of corporations. I for one live having a well organized site, but hate being at the mercy of a bunch of people in a board room.

/u/stratos

I think that could open a whole different can of worms, depending on the implementation. I'm not sure how I would feel about my connection being used to route traffic for subreddits with questionable/borderline illegal/copyrighted content, for example. It would just offload some potential legal problems from the site's admins to its users.

/u/Thrashy

My thought was that you could build it a bit like XMPP, where individual servers can choose to federate with others, and provide a system where a user of one server can use his identity three on all federated servers. Think of it as having a "home" sub that talks to others in a web of connected subreddits, all of which honor the user identities of other connected subreddits.

And he got 2 karma for it. Bargain.

Well really that's one karma since the first point is his and doesn't count.

It's good to know that the infinitesimally semantic species, technicalis specifcus has also migrated from Reddit 👍
