Features currently implemented include:

• Nested channels, where each channel can be a full-fledged community with specific rules, hierarchies, reply threads & children channels. No limits on depth.
• Cross-tagging of other channels or threads, with back-links to follow discussions around the community.
• Contextual reputation models, with fully customizable permissions as a function of user roles, which are assigned by programmable rules based on reactions & opinions from other users.
• A map for discovering channels as an experiment to see how we relate to each other via location as our shared context.

• Self-governance via rules that can be changed through policy change proposals (a.k.a. motions) and votes. Children channel may inherit parent rules, or start new jurisdictions.
• Shareable curated feeds as aggregates of other channels & search filters, essentially functioning as personalized feed algorithms across multiple communities.
• Optional alt handles such that users can preserve privacy in different contexts, as channels allow.

• Decentralization by allowing cross-tagging across servers, based on standard authentication methods (somewhat of a cross between IRC & SMTP).
• Community monetization where valuable members of communities can monetize their contributions by requiring paid subscriptions for certain user roles, which can also help fund the project.
