Agora
Open discussion with minimal interference
Agora is a discussion platform built around topic communities. Join the subjects you care about, then post, comment, and vote. Free speech is the default. Ranking is driven by the community. Moderation is intentionally light: AI checks for spam, pure off-topic content, and clearly illegal material. It does not police opinions, politics, or tone. Agora is for open conversation with minimal interference.
Hey, I’m Jacob. I built Agora.
Agora is a discussion platform organized around topic communities. You join communities by subject, then post, comment, and vote. Ranking comes from the community. Free speech is the default.
**What it does**
- Topic-based communities
- Posts, comments, replies, and voting
- Feeds like My Feed, Trending, Recent, and Top
- Light AI moderation for spam, pure off-topic content, and clearly illegal material
- Link previews, media embeds, profiles, notifications, saved posts, dark mode
**What it doesn’t do**
- It does not try to police opinions, politics, tone, or unpopular ideas
- It is not built around personalities or creator branding
- It is not a heavy moderation product
- It is not trying to recreate every Reddit pattern
**Why I built it**
I wanted a place for open discussion that stayed organized by topic. I also wanted moderation to stay narrow. A lot of platforms either scatter conversation across personal feeds or manage discussion through aggressive control. Agora is my attempt at something simpler: focused communities, open speech, and minimal interference.
It’s live at https://agor4.com
This is still early. I’d love feedback from people who actually try it, especially on:
1. First minute after signup
2. Creating a post or joining communities
3. Whether the feeds feel useful
4. Whether the light-moderation idea is clear in practice
Thanks for taking a look.

Who hunted Agora?
Agora was hunted by Jacob McEndollar. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
