To put an interesting spin on this question for those considering it:
"What other online communities maintain high standards using the dedicated effort of tool-assisted human moderators?"
MetaFilter and RPG.net are two good examples of this.
Reddit as a whole is not — though individual specific groups may choose to apply a more strict hand and are invaluable for it.
I miss webrings, and discovering small communities through them.
- onecommentman 6y agoI miss having an RSS feed reader in Safari. Sites like this become the source for finding new sources for feeds. I have no need or want for an intermediary app to get between me and my feeds. It’s a text feed, for crying out loud. One of Apple’s worst antiuser moves...all for the sake of Apple News that goes straight into Trash without reading? Every time I delete the email, it reminds me how shortsighted and arrogant Apple can be. So I get a daily dose of antiApple by way of Apple themselves. Hurrah? MetaFilter is slanted in the content presented...used it heavily in its early days. Yield rate plummeted to near zero so skipped it...I assume I aged out of its content. Instead of webrings, I collect blogs that have embedded a miniRSS list of followed blogs. Can glom together a decent RSSish feed in a particular topic of interest from them.
