oleta.eu: A Reddit-alternative for Europe. Do you you guys approve?

I’m tired of seeing every European news story buried under US culture wars. I’m tired of "power-mods" banning people without explanation. But most of all, I’m tired of the bots. In 2026, half the comments on major subreddits feel like AI-generated slop or karma-farming scripts.

So, I’ve spent the last few weeks building Oleta (oleta.eu). It’s in pre-beta, and I need fellow Europeans to help me shape it.

Here is how Oleta fixes what's broken here:

1. The Citizen Council (No more "Power Mods"): On Oleta, we don't do arbitrary bans. If a post is flagged, it goes to a "Jury" of 5 random, verified citizens. They decide the outcome based on the EU Digital Services Act (DSA). It’s democratic moderation, not a dictatorship.
2. The Multilingual Bridge (Already Live!): This is the coolest part. You can go into your settings and set your language to German, French, Spanish, etc. Oleta will instantly translate the entire feed into your language. You can finally have a deep conversation in o/Handball or o/CuisineEU with someone from a different country without losing anything in translation.
3. The "Flip Side" Toggle: At the top of every post, there’s a toggle that breaks the echo chamber. It re-sorts comments to show you the highest-quality dissenting views. We don’t hide disagreement; we make it productive.
4. Real European Interests: We’ve already launched 60+ "Spaces" (our subreddits) A Note on "Spaces" vs "Orbs": Right now, our communities are called Spaces (using the s/ prefix, like s/WaterPolo or s/HousingEU). However, since the platform is Oleta, I’m considering renaming them to Orbs (and using the o/ prefix). I’d love for the early adopters to help me make that call in our meta-discussion areas.

To be honest, I’m keeping it lean right now. I don’t want to go too "hardcore" on features if nobody is going to use them. I’m looking for a small group of founding users to jump in, see if the vibe is right, and tell me what’s actually worth building. If the community wants it, I'll scale it.
