Is there an alternative to reddit, like reddit was to digg?

I'd like to see a p2p version of reddit. That would help to keep it out of the hands of corporations. I for one live having a well organized site, but hate being at the mercy of a bunch of people in a board room.

I think that could open a whole different can of worms, depending on the implementation. I'm not sure how I would feel about my connection being used to route traffic for subreddits with questionable/borderline illegal/copyrighted content, for example. It would just offload some potential legal problems from the site's admins to its users.

My thought was that you could build it a bit like XMPP, where individual servers can choose to federate with others, and provide a system where a user of one server can use his identity three on all federated servers. Think of it as having a "home" sub that talks to others in a web of connected subreddits, all of which honor the user identities of other connected subreddits.
