   I think something like Wikipedia could potentially be a decent model for an centralized but open version of reddit. Have donation drives to keep the servers running once a year, and have something like the five pillars & an open license

   Q: What about the social features of GitHub? I enjoy the discovery and star features. There just isn't any community like it. Where can I get that? It would be great if there was something that had the discovery & social aspects

    In terms of Facebook where I live, "Well don't just use their services then" is simply impossible. Almost all of my kids' sports activities and parent groups are on WhatsApp, I have to use it.
