It'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?

What about using bitcoin as a voting mechanism? That would get rid of trolls, or at least the poor ones.

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

Hi,

This is true, the only other decentralized aggregator, Aether, is not a website and rather requires download upon your computer.

Frizbee allows users to host their own decentralized playlist servers: https://github.com/Frizbeeco/Frizbee/blob/master/documentati...

I'm confused how the licensing of users' content is intended to work. The site states that you own your content[1] but then on its manifesto page[2] states that all information is in the public domain. The license itself[3] is not particularly clear. Putting information into the public domain does provide for maximum freedom in terms of how the information can be used, but that's because the copyright owner renounces…

"you own the copyright to your content... all the content on Frizbee is in the public domain... you can use and redistribute [user content] in any way, completely free of charge."

Yeah, really really strange. That makes no sense. The whole thing in general seems to confuse copyright with responsibility of content. Of course I could have got the gist wrong because it was very confusing and contradicted itself.

Ummm 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)

Who runs voat? How do I know it isn't run by Russian spies? or US spies?

Probably both.. and what prevents either of those from running this?

I honestly hope one of these takes off. I don't want to ever go there, I don't take amusement in other people's suffering. But seeing so much outrage on reddit from assholes bitching that they can't be racist/bigoted/loathsome on a private forum screaming about freedom of speech which belies their own ignorance makes me long for the days of gopher. I find it repugnant, and I'm glad to live in a country where I'm free…

" I'm glad to live in a country where I'm free to say anything, but hate speech is prosecuted."

hmm...

English translation: "I believe in freedom of speech. . . except for things that I find offensive"

There is no such thing as hate speech in a free speech environment. There is no guarantee you won't be offended.
