I’m curious if there are any discussion platforms out there that fall between Reddit and image boards in terms of structure and moderation.

The main thing I’m looking for is a platform that organizes discussions by user-created tags instead of communities or subreddits. This would allow more flexibility in categorizing topics.

A tag system could hopefully make it easier to filter out or avoid content you don’t want to see. This could include topics like graphic violence, abuse, self-harm, pornography, hate speech, politics, religion, phobias, anything related to past traumas, etc.

I know some communities allow you to filter by flair, but I’m imagining a more customizable tag filtering system to really tailor what you do and don’t see.

Does a platform with this kind of tag-based organization and filtering already exist?

    I had this idea years ago where users would utilize tags rather than cross posting. I really hate x-posting, but a lot of users like subscribing to subs. Tags would allow you to both subscribe to or filter out a very specific topic wherever it happens to be posted.

    I guess you could add search alerts or keyword filters and eliminate x-posting.
