26 <h1>Forum Platform</h1>
|
|
|
27
|
|
|
28 <p>A platform contains forums. A forum contains threads. A thread contains messages.</p>
|
|
|
29 <p>Discord and Reddit are platforms. In the forum world, a "board" is a platform. Discord servers and Reddit subreddits are forums. Discord channels are threads.</p>
|
|
|
30
|
|
|
31 <p>The only difference between forum platforms and chat platforms is server push.</p>
|
|
|
32
|
|
|
33 <p>Free speech means no censorship at the platform level. Forum moderators can moderate their forums however they want.</p>
|
|
|
34
|
|
|
35 <p>Reddit has a feed of threads across subscribed forums. This isn't needed. Discord's approach is better. Just list subscribed forums with an indicator for new content.</p>
|
|
|
36
|
|
|
37 <p>Discord's discovery (ability to find new forums) is pathetic. One should be able to search for content across the platform as Reddit allows.</p>
|
|
|
38
|
|
|
39 <p>I propose implementing a forum platform in <a href="<%=luan_url()%>/">Luan</a>. Each forum would be a Luan site which means that users could actually customize the code of their own site if they want. Forums (Luan sites) would get platform-wide info like search results using MapReduce.</p>
|

|
|
|
41 <p>If implemented, this project should <a href="nabble.html">replace Nabble</a>.</p>
