A large issue I see with this is that of moderation. Discord, Slack, Reddit, and so on, all have appointed moderators for every community that keep users in-check according to community standards. With this idea, there are no 'owners' of any of these chatrooms, so are you going to moderate it centrally? That is a lot of work and requires a lot of people, just think about how much work it is to moderate a single twitch chatroom for spam, let alone an unlimited amount of them.
Would love to hear if you have any ideas on solving that. Besides that, I like the idea.
- kalado 7y agoYeah, that is a big problem. The only thing I can think of is to allow vote-kicks/bans. Account creation can only happen with mobile numbers to discourage spam and other violations and people just creating another account with a new mail. You could also use this as an opportunity for another monetization system which allows people to pay for a reserved channel and moderation rights. The owners would be incentivized to behave in a reasonable manner because people could just move to an umoderated channel if they don't like the administration. I see the chats in a semi persistent state between reddit/discord and kik/jodel etc. Not persistent over weeks or months but also not as short lived as a one day discussion that gets lost in new posts.
