#2It's a bit of a stretch to call this "decentralised" when it still relies on software running on a "master" server (your bot.)
Second, if it is indeed fully anonymous, won't it just become a haven for trolls?

#3I like the idea, but I don't think the UI design is really all that great.
For example the upvote button is massive, and I couldn't easily find the comment button at all.
Basically, it made me scared to even look at the site... like, "where am I?"

#4"We're the only decentralized democratic social aggregator website"
I feel like this is not true.

#5Ummm no. You're late to the game. Also, you're not established. If anyone has a claim to this, it's Voat. (Despite their difficulties)

#6Let's look at what happened to Voat.
After people claimed Reddit was censoring users by banning /r/fatpeoplehate, the more unsavory users flocked to Voat, a blatant Reddit clone.
As you would expect, said unsavory people posted unsavory content. Said unsavory content, while free and uncensored, was not legal, and that causes problems: http://www.reddit.com/r/SubredditDrama/comments/3avyem/voat_...
Said issues caused their PayPal account to become frozen: http://www.reddit.com/r/SubredditDrama/comments/3augr0/drama...
No, "decentralized" does not magically make you immune to law and punishment.

#9Grey text is hard to read - needs contrast overall. Finding links and controls by random clicking and trial and error also isn't pleasant. mystery meat navigation.

#10No censorship as in no moderation?
No thanks.
No censorship as in no punishing the stalking and threatening of others?
Also no thanks.
I want free speech where people are free with their speech, not unrestrained speech (specifically) where people feel free to hurt others.
