I would be willing to pay up to 10 usd per month to be able to create an account and run my news feed under my domain name.

I’m getting the error:

> Too Many Requests: 60 per 1 minute

I visited the site twice...

It looks interesting, but I am curious what are the implications. I.e. how does everyone’s interactions change.

Also seems kinda weird I have to login to be honest...

ieddit sounds quite close to idiot. You might want to change that (unless it was intended)

Hasn't the past 20 years shown that anonymous posts and comments are a perfect breeding ground for trolls?

You're on a site where at least half the commenters are anonymous, and evidently the discussion level here is good enough for you to stay. Conversely, Facebook is not any less cancerous because they have a real name policy. So no, I'd say the least N years have not shown that.

I haven't used Reddit in a very long time, but does it not allow anonymous posts and comments any more? My account, at least, isn't tied to my real name or identity in any way, IIRC.

Anyway, I'm not sure anonymity is a great feature. The lack of accountability is a good part of the reason why Reddit became such a cesspool.
