The thing about users was cringy, but otherwise I like this. I am not sure where to put it though, should I power up Raspberry Pi for this and let it run all the time or really use my desktop.

Maybe something distributed would be good idea. Then you can use your phone to update it. But then you get into whole crypto thing way too much?

I think this is useful thinking and exploration and if we suspend skepticism, it might be fun. I don't like seeing Twitter and FB and Youtube censoring people (and morons) all the time. I believe in the right of morons to publish stupid things.
