Comet

Comet is a reddit-like Holochain application.

Because it is built on Holochain, Comet has no censorship or moderation, and can run on the devices of the users without the help of servers.

Comet also replaces the idea of "subreddits" with tags, and allows posts to be created and crossposted with more than 1 tag.

Perhaps the most interesting feature of Comet, though, is its voting system. Firstly, votes can be fractional, they range from -1 to 1. Votes are also not counted as "objective". The scores of posts and comments are always calculated from the perspective of a particular agent (the user). This agent will have upvoted and downvoted other posts from other people. The score is counted depending on how the agent has voted on the other voters in the past. This helps fight spam, vote manipulation, and helps maintain community in an otherwise lawless space.
