  • I used a platform called Aether which I used for a while but it seems the developer kinda abandonned it.

    The idea was interesting, all participants would hold a copy of the network data locally and sync between eachothers (kind of like a blockchain, no it’s not related to cryptocurrencies).

    Writing a comment, a post, upvoting and downvoting required conputational power, which limited the ability to spam the network. There was the idea of having elections to decide who could act as a moderator in each communities (and the ability to impeach an existing mod), but it never came to be.

    I personally hate newsletters because

    1. my email inbox is already cluttered enough as it is
    2. I need to share my email to subscribe, which puts the balance of power into the hands of the sender at the expense of my privacy

    I’d rather have newsletters made available through RSS feeds, where I can subscribe and unsubscribe anonymously.
