How do you get this to not turn into a fascist/racist trash bin worse than 4chan/b/ as other Reddit clones have seemingly fallen into?

#12To state the obvious, I can't download—"You caught it before the launch. :)" That said, I really, really appreciate the native client here and I'm excited to try it out.
Maybe you should refresh your browser cache.

#14The idea of impeaching mods sounds interesting, but unworkable. How do you stop hostile communities from brigading and removing each other’s mods?
It isn't a "democracy", votes have a different weight based on the past participation on the specific community sub.

#16It'd be nice if I didn't have to download an application to use it. Open to a reddit alternative, but I care more about convenience than any sort of encryption a client would offer.
I dunno - when I saw 'decentralised' I assumed I'd have to download something. Isn't that how decentralised applications work?

I feel like the cost of having open communication platforms is the existence of toxic communities.
The correct approach (IMO) is to educate people about these rather than to have some sort of censorship mechanism.

Some type of social credit system with power at the local and global level. Give active and creditable participants in a single community more authority there by giving more votes. Global credibility (you play nice in other communities) additionally is factored into the users ability to influence. Make this credit consumable. This way a community that wants to disrupt another will have to overspend and leave themselves vulnerable to destruction. MAD in essence.

I am also unable to download and I doubt _my_ cache is the issue as I've never visited this site before. Is anyone able to download the Windows client (or any other)?
