How do you compare the site to Reddit? Curious since you're pretty much branding it as an alternative to Reddit by disclosing your previous job there.
- Deimorz 8y agoIt's going to have a lot of similarities to reddit - reddit does a lot of things right. However, there are also quite a few mechanics on reddit that are too ingrained now for them to ever be able to change, and some of those really hurt the site's ability to have high-quality content. So I'm hoping to try and address a lot of those issues with different or adjusted mechanics - finding a voting/ranking system that isn't biased towards "quick entertainment", moderation systems that don't result in communities needing to relocate to new subreddits all the time, and so on.
