I wonder if anybody has made a 'choose your own community' site. You choose how many people you're given access to (say, 100, 10K, 100K, 1M+) and the only information you get is from those who are nearest to you in location and interests (based on an adjustable scoring algorithm) and anybody you've previously conversed with.
Smaller communities could make for more specialized content, and everybody living on the edge of a bubble means theres plenty of opportunity for valuing middleman-style culture sharing (AKA reposts.)
- nostrademons 12y agoSubreddits, right?
- Retra 12y agoThat's a little different...
- rjaco31 12y agoReading your post a few times, I don't really see the difference. Your last sentence perfectly summarizes small subreddits and cross-posts.
- Retra 12y agoReddit doesn't prevent more people from joining your sub. If you want a sub of 10K users, and 10M people join, too bad. Secondly, it doesn't filter users based on location. If I wanted to talk to the nearest 100 people, too bad. I have to make a new sub, find those people, and convince them to join. So really, all of the two things that I suggested are things that reddit doesn't do.
