SurveyJS
Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.
I think it's mainly fine for general subs and great for super niche stuff I am interested in.
Like any Internet forum, of course it'll have its issues, particularly on the Reddit scale, but for the most part, I think it's pretty decent and I find it way better than most other 'social media' platforms.
NOTE: RES is a must-have for me: https://redditenhancementsuite.com/
It's fascinating to use https://www.reveddit.com/ for any of the big subs when a 'controversial' topic is posted. I've seen threads where 30-50% of comments were removed (in the thousands) and even the mildest critiques and disagreements of the topic would be deleted by mods.
Some of the bigger subs have 100+ moderators so you can see why.
The idea that comments get deleted because they are 'bad faith', racist, or whatever is idealistic at best. Moderators act like editors of newspapers where the comments are the content.
