“I'm building a Reddit alternative called Topicle with public mod logs, visible poster countries and more transparent moderation. It's also physically based in Australia, which adds a bit of geographical diversity to the social media landscape.”
Topicle
A social media platform based in Australia that aims to solve misinformation, astroturfing and inauthentic posting. It detects and counters bad actors with automated mechanisms improved using AI, while supporting features such as video upload and encoding, image upload, CSAM and NSFW detection, LLM-generated text detection, auto-translation using DeepL, and compliance with age verification laws. Native iOS and Android apps have launched alongside the web platform, with a backend built in Swift Vapor.
Problem: Artificially created comment threads pushing narratives and the ability to buy likes and upvotes to shape opinion go unaddressed on big social media platforms, and there was no non-US-based option for users concerned about identity subpoenas for criticizing the government.

“https://topicle.com/ A social media platform trying to solve misinformation, astroturfing and inauthentic posting. I also thought there was a real space for some non-US-based social media, so this is based in Australia.”
