| 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> | |
