#552Back when I don't even know what PHP is, i was dreaming of creating this Facebook like social media. Now 7 years later, I have the knowledge of creating. I was not even interested in creating another social media, just because I know I am nobody, I am not an MIT graduate, I don't have a network, my social/communication is terrible. Now I am settled on a working day job, those big ambitions are buried when I fully grasp the reality that I am not gonna be that one lucky enough to launch a successful billion dollar social networking app.

It's a hybrid model, and I'd be curious if people like this or not as it's been something I'm fiddling with. Note that when you vote, you upvote the tag itself. The vote within the tag determines its order when browsing the tag itself. So if something is tagged with #formula1 and has 483 upvotes for the tag, it will appear high in the #formula1 list view. If it's also tagged with #funny with 1 upvote, it will appear…
That is a pretty good solution to the relevant tags and spam issues I was worried about. Good thinking there. One half of my issues gone. The single conversation is still a big problem for me. I really like being able to have conversations within a specific community and get specific angles on a topic. I also like to look at a conversation on the same topic in different subreddits to see how different communities rea…
Maybe if you could tag the root comments the same way? So when you come from browsing #formula1 you see #formula1 tagged comments first? And when you start a new root comment it defaults to being tagged from where you came from? But you could also add #funny if it is a funny comment? That could be cool

>but if you take $24 from me for a year and then offer me $0.0193 for my efforts based on upvotes I might feel a bit cheesed off about it. is that how it works? I thought it was offering payments based on who creates posts or other community tools, not based on participation. you are correct that 2 cents would be a pittance to me who doesn't even want to be paid to browse content. But if I and 1000 others gave that 2…
It reads to me like: > " [your subscription fee over my $1 take] gets split evenly between everything you upvote that month. " So if I subscribe and pay $2/month, there's $1/month from me for that, so if I upvote ten things they each get $0.03 from me and if I upvote a ten things a day that's three hundred in a month, they each get $0.0033 from me. I'm not clear if that covers comments or only top level submissions /…
Look at it more as a way to offset your subscription cost, not a possible side income. If you're a contributing member you get a content service for near free, with much better quality/spam control than something like Reddit.

To get two conversations it could just be posted twice with different tags? It's then up to the poster to decide in that case, not sure if that solves your problem.

#556The use of tags vs discrete communities keeps it from being a viable alternative to Reddit for me. I have a real disdain for tags for user generated content. Every site I have seen use tags I end up having to wade through a ton of spam or vaugly related content to whatever tag I am looking for. The only exception I can think of is Hashtags for twitter but that is due to the character limit. I understand that people s…

There's still no incentive here to keep tags at a minimum. What if you'd use the lowest upvote score of all tags, for all tags? Optionally corrected for sub size. So min(corrected(upvotes in #formula1), corrected(upvotes in #funny)).

Personally, if i signed up, i would not be interested in getting payouts. I'd have to declare them on my tax return, and it's just not worth it for such small amounts. So a checkbox to donate any payouts to a charity (the EFF, perhaps?) would be great.
A really great idea. Love that as well. I've also considered adding a threshold for payouts (i.e. $50 withdrawal minimum) to help with the reporting aspects.
This is the way. Minimum threshold. That's how Adsense works.

I'm building https://linklonk.com which works this way - you get content ranked based on what you upvoted. This is to make the incentives for voting aligned and help prevent abuse. I think the problem with karma/reputation systems is that the source of karma are fungible - anyone's upvote has the same effect on the reputation. And this makes it gameable. A personalized system can solve this by replacing global reputa…
>Now it matters who upvoted - a random bot or a user whose past contributions have been useful to you. // In that system how do you create a ranked list of content for a user to browse? Isn't it going to be very heavy on processing demand?
Yes, it requires keeping track of how much each user trusts each other user. And then when you rank content for user A, you use the trust table of user A as weights of upvotes.
This is more computationally intensive than sorting by the raw number of upvotes or weight upvotes by karma/popularity.
But I think this is a useful computation - the user can be more confident that the content they is is not astroturfed and comes from trustworthy users.

On the flip side, the fact that this is a crowded space means that there’s a demand for it. And this isn’t a Reddit clone, it has a business model which is pretty close to the best anyone could hope for in my opinion. In any case, I applaud any efforts that could unseat Reddit or make them reconsider their greedy hard line. I encourage the creator of Non.io to identify the key shortcomings of Reddit and improve upon…
> “ it has a business model ” What’s that story about the economist who was trying to concentrate but there were kids playing soccer below his window and being noisy, so he went out and offered them $1 each if they come back and played tomorrow. The next day he offered them 50c, then 25c, and after that 5c, and the kids got annoyed “we wouldn’t come here to play for a measly five cents!” and stormed off, and didn’t c…
"You see, officer, the reason I was paying children to play outside my house is because I didn't want them there! It's very clever actually! I got the idea from the internet! It's certainly not what it looks like!"

#560When I load the all page, I get an alert that just says "1", which feels like it's probably a successful XSS attack. Given that, I can't justify putting my credit card number directly into the site. If it took Paypal, Apple Pay, or similar I would absolutely give it a try for a few months.
Screenshot of the alert (imgur marked it as nsfw because it includes a thumbnail of a post that is mildly nsfw): https://imgur.com/a/TmwO1jg
