Someone needs to build a completely vertically integrated stack of IRC + Usenet w/Webfront + Reddit Clone. Let people deploy their own on VPSes IRC is already crazy distributed. Usenet was designed to be that way as well. It just needs moderation.

Stop trying to reinvent the wheels that the pioneers of the Internet invented already. It was designed to be distributed. It was designed to withstand a nuclear blast.

They even have RFCs for a lot of this stuff: Write the RFCs and let people write their own apps:

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2812

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3977

PHPBB already has hashed out a RFC for moderation: https://wiki.phpbb.com/PhpBB4/RFC/Moderation_system
