Please be aware of Lemmy, the ActivityPub-compatible Reddit clone. It's in a quite far stadium of functionality, but I'm sure extra development on their moderation systems would be more than welcome!

I also made a reddit clone, but on top of my own HTTP server and database: http://talk.binarytask.com http://talk.binarytask.com Democracy only works when you have more energy available than people and that is about to not be the case after 200 years of extracting sunshine from the earths crust. The only thing we're efficient at is to waste energy! Also "sign in with google"?

I just want to see how to run a community based on the will of it's members. Efficiently using their time. > sign in with google It's not ideal. I originally implemented my own authentication, however implementing it "securely" is a huge task. My main problem is unknown unknowns. Even big companies have non-perfect authentication, like leaking emails during recovery/login. If the site gets any traction I'll expand the authorisation options. What do you think I could do to improve the site?

    HTTPS is garbage, but you can put a HAProxy with SSL in front of it if you want to waste energy... :D I made my own secure user handling using this: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2289 https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2289
