Hello, I have been browsing /lit/ for years now and I am currently unhappy with the state of this board as well as this whole website. I don't think that I need to go into details as you probably all know about some of the problems we have here.
My plan is to host my own imageboard for some topics all centered around literature, philosophy and science. But it would obvioulsy make no sense to use a clone of 4chan to build a better community.
So I came up with some ideas that I think would improve the board:
Anonymous imageboards should be anonymous. 4chan is not, they use google's recaptcha to track users and ban all proxyposters. Other chans have proven that this is not required to keep trolls away, e.g. lainchan is fairly active and doesn't use a captcha at all and doesn't blacklist tor exit nodes. I would even go so far and try to ensure anonymity by hosting the chan on a secure network, as a .onion or .i2p. This comes with the problem of trolls though as it is impossible to ban anyone without an identifier such as an IP and since tor users don't fear anything it won't take long until the board is flooded with illegal and immoral shit that will get me jailed. So my idea would be to let each user generate a unique string that is asked for when posting, this user will only recieve his credential string after mining a cryptocurrency for some time (I guess twenty minutes on average hardware would be sufficient) This identifier would be the equivalent of the IP on 4chan, it is invisible to users and is only saved until the post is deleted. This way the forum would be nearly spammer free (they can easily get banned unless they use a lot of processing power to mine a lot of crypto for every single post) while still being more privacy focused than 4chan.
Another change I would make is allowing different file uploads, such as pdf or text files instead of images. This would make a lot of sense for a chan intended for literature discussion.
What do you think, /lit/? Would you join this forum and contribute to creating a better place? What are your ideas on the features I mentioned, would you do anything in a different way? Please share any thoughts you have and maybe give me some motivation to build this thing.
