I am now imagining endless rows of North Korean inmates posting cat pictures.

Another moderation risk is that whoever is moderating has an incentive to delete people’s potentially successful posts and repost under their own or a friend’s alt account
Perhaps meta-moderation would work in this scenario? Randomly assign previous moderation choices (anonymizing the moderator) for users to rank. This could to identify moderators that are out of line. It could also lead to echo chambers though.
If meta-moderation powers were assigned randomly and uniformly, this could be gamed by just spam-creating tons of accounts. Any system that accepts user input needs to have a robust answer to the question "What if a significant percentage of my users are actually bots under control of a single person?"

#173Seems like this is a great way to monetize content theft, since almost every single post in high traffic subs is currently a repost of a recycled meme or Tiktok.

#174Mobile web needs to be addressed…
100%. I'm still working on it. I announced today without it purely because of what's happening with Reddit. Mobile designs are here: https://www.figma.com/file/DStwulDd9Vd3TLjrMuxZ9y/nonio-desi... Probs will be another month before I get the branch merged however.
Very happy to hear that, I looked more into your service and I’m really hoping you can succeed!

#175Really hope it succeeds! Maybe there could be an low-effort area where you don't get paid. I get the site is targeting creators, but I also get the impression that it is about general discussions etc? As a user it feels weird to give equal money to a discussion as someones awesome multi-month project, especially since there will probably be more discussions than awesome multi-month projects. I really like the lurk fo…
It could be interesting to be able to mark a bits of content as dependents, and have them pay a portion of their reward to the parent. This could be recursive.

#176The main page shouldn't be login-walled. I don't want to create an account just to find out what kind of content this community has and how active it is.
Fair. I removed login requirements for browsing. You should be able to see all posts here: https://non.io/#all As a disclaimer, this is truly me just launching today, there's only 4 posts currently.
I just went to http://non.io and see something that is/looks like an ad "a platform for supporting creators", and some documentation/sales pitch, rather than content. This is not remotely like reddit.com, or hacker news. Why don't I see content?
This is a very bad user experience, for a main page to go directly to, what should be, http://non.io/about. Don't give me a long pamphlet explaining mundane details that I can't comprehend who would care about, let me see what it actually is, and test drive it, without having to know/type some magic url.
I suggest sitting someone new down, who isn't excited to be there, and have them type http://non.io, and carefully observe what happens.

I swear, the current protests have shined a very odd light on the average commenting Redditor, they want * The website to be free * The API to be cheap * The ability to use a 3rd party app that does not track, advertise, or monetize you in any way * VCs to continue to pour hundreds of millions of dollars to run the site and never ask for an ROI Good luck kids
The 3rd party app issue, and most of the API problem consequently, wouldn't be such a big issue if they didn't take forever to release the official app, only to put out an awful one when they finally did. You don't see many people using 3rd party apps for other social media.
You think Facebook would let a large percentage of users use a 3rd party app that blocks all advertisements, tracking, and other monetization? Look at how Meta treated the whole Apple tracking ordeal
If a lone dev would have made an app like Apollo for FB, they would be under 10,000 pages of litigation the next day
People don't use the FB app because its great. They would love a non-tracking version of the same service. It's just not allowed

#178Loving the ui.
A bit more rich text features for the comments might be nice.

#179The idea of posters getting real money instead of fake internet points when their posts do well seems interesting, but maybe an unintentional experiment in unintended consequences. Moderation will be extremely important to prevent low-effort memes and content regurgitation and the like from saturating your main channels. Have you considered how you will encourage moderation and keep it free from the corrosive influen…
Ditto. I hate this idea. We all know the type of content that revenue drives: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rE3j_RHkqJc. I want a site that rewards quality, not view counts.

Yes! I made a little edit just to make it clear I'm not trying to dismiss the hard work, and even though it's a really hard space to compete in, someone has to try or there will never be alternatives.
Hey, you responded better to that feedback than I probably would have! Serious thank you for leading the way on high-value habits I’m still working on!
This thread is wholesome AF.
