    I’ve been doing something that could be called preparing. I’ve been messing with this idea for decentralizing the user identity there by decoupling the posts and users from the platform and even potentially eliminating the concept of a platform.

    I called it userless because there are no users in the database.

    Tbh I’d like for this to gain some smidgen of use, it’s more of a technical explanation for me atm.

      So it’s sort of a general use tripcode system? It’s an interesting concept, what do you imagine the front end for such a system looking like, if you’re moving away from the concept of a platform?

        So far I’ve created a 4chan and Reddit clone. I’m also planning a peer to peer web app, and a standalone aggregator software written in flutter dart.

        Edit: just read up on tripcodes, it’s primitive and elegant, I like it.

        There is not

        I need to come up with a solution for registration and validation that I feel safe with. I don’t feel personally comfortable hosting user generated content yet, but once I work out things like verifying emails and doing appropriate CYA then I’ll deploy an instance. I already have userless.xyz locked down.

        I’m also missing some features like sponsoring anonymous keys and now I’m working on the decentralized peer-to-peer protocol which I might be more comfortable deploying an instance of.

        There’s still so much more to do
