Hi @flaxxen, interesting! Could you share some of these Reddit-esque forums that exist on chain? |

Most of what we found were messaging apps like https://retroshare.cc/, but it does seem to come with a type of forum as well. There are also a bunch of social media dapps which often focus more on owning your own data such as https://www.minds.com/, https://www.deso.com/?ref=itsfoss.com. The most similar one seems to be Aether at https://getaether.net/. |

Nice, good luck! |

Description
Our project idea is to create a chat forum, similar to Reddit, on blockchain. There have been many chat services developed on blockchain, but a forum with threads and topics is a newer, more unique concept. The project poses many technical questions; how to optimise retrieving and storing data, how to split data into threads, topics etc. We would use something like React for writing a front-end application. And we will probably target Ethereum as blockchain.
Relevance
This is an interesting use case for blockchain. Allowing for an anonymous, unmoderated platform for sharing thoughts and ideas. This also poses obvious ethical questions.
