hn really ended up replacing Slashdot for me. Disappointingly, I took a look at /. in the past month and realized I hadn't even loaded it out in 4+ years. Ideal would be hn style sites, decentralized like forums, and managed by individual communities. Then, stick to a standard, unlike the old phpBB, vBulletin, etc, so there can be some level of access by API.

That sounds like a web based version of Usenet really.

What you're describing sounds a bit like Lemmy [0]. In essence it's a federated reddit. Anyone can host their own instance with its own rules/topic. And each instance can have communities (subreddits). You can subscribe/comment to any of the other instances' "subreddits" from your own instance. [0]: https://join-lemmy.org/ https://join-lemmy.org/
