This looks like time to bring back the original reddit: Usenet.
The people make content.
The people post content to groups they're on.
The people are the moderators of those groups.
But reddit profits.
Seems like the old federated solution is better. Capitalizing on people socializing and doing stuff just seems wrong, and I'd say IS wrong.
I wonder what it'd take to rebuild Usenet and get easy access for the masses, like Mastodon has done?
- SeanAnderson 4y agoI don't think Reddit is profitable? I can't find any sources indicating it is and several indicating it is not. That isn't to say they can't squeeze a profit out once they IPO, but it's been fairly altruistic up to this point.
