Why is this better than the Bitcoin Reddit Page?

• TylerE 13y ago
  You serious? Getting stabbed IRL is less bad than /r/bitcoin. I'm not sure if the memes or continual circlejerking are worse.

    Why is this better than /r/bitcoinserious, /r/bitcoinmarkets, or creating a new subreddit for bitcoin?
    • TylerE 13y ago
      Well, anything that might result in fewer BTC posts in HN is fine by me, for one...
    • SectioAurea 13y ago
      Because of reddit's management policies and ownership by mainstream media. Not to mention the total control of Bitcoin-related forum threads there by anointed moderators who are also pump and dump propaganda masters.

        That is also a potential problem with an HN spin-off not being run by the same people.
        • SectioAurea 13y ago
          Correct, spin-off site operators need to be trusted not to be P&D moles. However, mystery odds beat certain odds of P&D message control (as seen in Reddit).

      Because reddit sucks. There, I said it.

        So brave.

    Except creating something that looks like HN does not automatically attract the same crowd as HN. There are plenty of clean, meme-free, well managed Reddits. This new site could just as well turn into /r/bitcoin. Also, anything bitcoin related is going to turn into a "circle-jerk". That's the point isn't it? They exist to educate, market, hype-up, and encourage everyone to use BitCoin. No thanks.

  Communities are made of people. Software alone is only half the story. The problem with reddit is redditors.
