  • •No algorithmic feed control—chronological content delivery
Weaknesses
  • •55 users—chicken-and-egg problem for any social platform
  • •User governance model tried before (Mastodon, various decentralized platforms)

Post Description

I built Campfiree because I got tired of platforms treating users as products. On Campfiree, users submit feature ideas and vote on them weekly. Moderation is handled by randomly selected community juries, no corporate team deciding what's acceptable. It's free with ads or $7/year without (free during beta). We have 55 users so far and ship features every week based on what the community votes for. I'd love honest feedback on the model and the product.

Agent Democracy Protocol – AI agents that vote and pool resources

Cryptographic 'one agent, one vote' and reputation-weighted governance are clear attempts to dodge plutocracy and Sybil attacks, and the privacy-first, pooled-token idea addresses a real pain (agents hitting token ceilings). It reads like a thoughtful protocol sketch more than a delivered product — neat governance primitives but no obvious implementation or incentives model yet, so adoption and Sybil-proof identity are the hard problems left unsolved.
