A minimalist, anonymous discussion platform with no social features
Posted by Ratefuls@reddit | RedditAlternatives | View on Reddit | 22 comments
A platform that combines aspects of imageboards, forum and reddit, while keeping it simple:
- No accounts needed - post anonymously or use tripcodes to maintain identity in discussions
- No karma system - focus on conversations, not internet points
- Clean, distraction-free interface • All topics welcome (SFW only), organized in categories
- No tracking or data collection
- Active discussions easily discoverable through recent comments
It's designed for people who just want to have conversations without the social media aspects.
And I think the name is cool: Discuo

That's just 4channel with even less users

No, this is just Discuo

Did you made this yourself? Or did you use open source code?
Ratefuls@reddit (OP)
I made it from scratch
NuminousDaimon@reddit
Interesting! Do you think you could make something like this but with social features? I want to make a community for my youtube channel but don't want to direct people to sites I don't have ownership or control over, like reddit, discord etc.
And either look into buying XenForo or hire someone to code it. Or just use an AI to code it. Depends on which of those costs less time.

If you are willing to hire someone to build it from scratch, you can DM me too.

Well from scratch is something I thought about before but something like this requires a few coders and would costs at least 50k. Also if I do this I would rather want to have the coders in house or near me. Not remote or via freelancers. 🤔

Hey, cool concept!
Although I work on a different platform that launches march 18th. I still just wanted to stop by and show some love your your platform too. The more alternatives we have the sooner we as a community on this sub can find an exist haha.
Keep up the great work.

Thanks man! Appreciate it :)
7grims@reddit
uhmmmm... that looks like... yup its 4chan
Ratefuls@reddit (OP)
No, it’s Discuo
7grims@reddit
Im curious on how they moderate, cause how long until it devolves into 4chan if it implodes in popularity?
Ratefuls@reddit (OP)
The moderation system has been up and running since the platform went live 1 week ago. There are 3 of us checking every post and report! For the moment this is more than enough and we can adapt things by increasing the number of moderators if necessary!

How do you plan to hire mods and how can you avoid power tripping mods
busymom0@reddit
More importantly, where's the funding?
7grims@reddit
