If it didn't have to make any money and was guaranteed to have visitors, I'd make Reddit with autogenerated subreddits.
At the start there's one community everyone is a part of. Every week, the community is split into children based on voting patterns, grouping people who are more similar. Communities can vote on a name, and anyone can see any node in the tree.
There would have to be periodic resets, but I think it would be a fun social experiment.
- mbrock 9y agoI had a similar idea: a forum with endlessly branching threads, where important nodes get highlighted as "subforums".
- meric 9y agoIs it possible to parse Reddit and pick recent "important" nodes? A website to comment on reddit threads, in the same way reddit is a website to comment on website links... Except the submitted reddit threads are picked automatically by your algorithm.
