Back in the day, that was the World Wide Web. Federated gardens are a modern invention.

- nine_k 3y agoThree things. (1) User identity. (2) Moderation. (3) Storage and bandwidth. If you don't mind using different identities across subreddits, or are fine using some OIDC provider, you can replace a subreddit with something like a phpbb installation, a classical forum. Its moderation tools, while somehow different, should be adequate to thwart spam and whip rule-breakers into shape. Running somethig picture-heavy, even 1/10 of r/pic, would cost considerable money though.
