I wanted to build something similar but included a Reddit style posting community.

I ultimately didn't because the fear of a hostile takeover like what happened at twitter made me rethink allowing such a platform to exist.

I know I wouldn't use any of the data to monitor users, but there's no reasonable way to stop others from abusing the system I created.

it would be unethical to create such a system knowing it would eventually fall into some private investment firms hands.
