This looks interesting, but I'm pretty skeptical of the revenue model. I have a hard time believing a general purpose discussion site can survive on donations. Especially one with a moderation policy. If you see any success, you're going to end up at a point where you need paid moderators - volunteer moderators who are only motivated by the tiny bit of power they have been granted are a big part of the problem with toxic discussion sites like reddit.
If you have no revenue, you have no guarantee of trusted community management. And thats assuming that you can somehow collect enough donations to cover hosting, which also seems unlikely.
