If people wanted a new Reddit, which is to say a website in front of Usenet that is social and allows voting, what other features would you find interesting?
I'm sure there's someone reading these comments who is looking for a side project, and this may be interesting to them... let's help them out.
- corobo 7y agoFeatures? No idea. The thing that’s needed though is content, the problem that these spinoff Reddits have is that they seem to think catching the runoff is a good idea to build a community. New reddit, whoever you may be, don’t populate yourselves with the communities that get banned from reddit.
- rollinDyno 7y agoI do not know if it makes financial sense, but I would be very interested in trying out a new Reddit with a more representative subreddit moderators. Currently, moderators are selected with little input from the community members. Because mods produce the content policies of a community, members don't have the most effective tools to effect the policies of their communities (where they can spend a lot of time and effort). Ideally, moderators would be selected by vote but that's a challenge of its own. I would still like to see more democratic forms of mod selection, it would also keep them accountable from abusing their power (arbitrary banning, censoring and/or taking bribes from corporations).
