Been on Reddit for a while. I also happen to be a developer. So, I decided, why not. I built a really sleek, simple forum that doesn't have all the bs. Not trying to self promo, the forum's free to join.

These are the things I was tired of and made a point not to incorporate:

Mods on power trips,

Seeing content I never asked for,

Karma-driven junk,

Bots

I have no algo, heavy manual verification that requires a public profile + reason to join, all verified manually. No point system. It's not foolproof, but it's a start. I don't want huge traffic, just a focus on quality with a few people rather than mass.

I added minimal features on purpose to give space for additional stuff that are community guided.

I made the skeleton of the website, you can see attached screenshot of the feed page. Forum's going to be focused on one specific community, just not sure which one, I'm searching my fav subreddits.

Let me hear thoughts, would be cool if someone told me what's missing and helped me make this better for people.
