I’m getting the error: > Too Many Requests: 60 per 1 minute I visited the site twice... It looks interesting, but I am curious what are the implications. I.e. how does everyone’s interactions change. Also seems kinda weird I have to login to be honest...

This was re-submitted here when I was sleeping, and I was the only admin. I went to bed thinking my submission had not been noticed, leaving my site misconfigured thinking it did not matter.

The technical issues and most of the offensive content has been taken care of.

Three clicks in and I see a picture of a dog fucking a woman.

I had an idea for a minimal change to improve a Reddit-like site, perhaps you will find it interesting: split the concept of "subreddit" into "tags" and "communities". Tags: much of the content of Reddit is people reposting the same thing at various times to various subreddits, and many of the comments are people noticing that it fits into "r/whatever" instead. The default behavior should be that posts of the same li…

You're kinda describing Tildes (tildes.net).

How will you avoid- > John Gabriel's Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory was proposed in the Penny Arcade (web comic) on March 19, 2004 by Mike Krahulik and Jerry Holkins. It says that when a normal person is allowed anonymity and an audience, they lose social inhibitions and act inappropriately. If anything, the last decade has taught us the immutability of this law. Usernames and comment history seem to help somewhat w…

> If anything, the last decade has taught us the immutability of this law.

Or equally likely-- there are a tiny fraction of bona fide users who act moderately anti-social on the net when granted anonymity, just as they would in real life.

It's just that forums with no little to no publishing friction allow those people to do 100x damage compared to what they could get away with in real life.

Add to that:

* corporate-sponsored trolls doing 1000x damage compared to real life

* nation-state trolls doing 10000x damage compared to real life

That's how you get that inimitable Reddit charm of watching an entire thread on geopolitics seem to change its hive mind as the mods manually strip out all the astroturf over the course of an hour.

Even if that's true, which I'm not seeing from a cursory glance; they've released their project as open source and it seems active.

They've chosen technology I like too (python/postgres/redis/saltstack), and it seems to have a clean interface.

On purely technical/product merits I like it.

Any sources on that? Tildes is a young community still tho, voat failed and I don't think it'll be able to reach much success either (where success = massive volume of users). We'll see.

I think this "reddit-with-4chan-features" approach is more viable than 8chan's "4chan-with-reddit-features" approach, since I don't think the imageboard model is very compatible with the "community-run boards" feature. It's also a good thing that (it appears that) this website is "fresh" and apolitical rather than coming forth from a political rift in another community (e.g. 8chan, gab, voat). I'll definitely be foll…

>EDIT: I do have some problems with this rule: "Nothing that violates US law, or anything that would be considered 'gray area'." What is a 'gray area' is, itself, a gray area. I don't think the rule itself needs changing, but it would be good if it was supported by some examples of things that people might want to do but you won't allow. Loli/shota porn mainly. Other forms of borderline cp. The problem is, specifical…

Personally I think you should skip the /r/ or /i/ part of the paths. Always bothered me that reddit has it - communities are central to these sites so IMO they should be the first part of the path

I am of the opinion this should represent subs as /i/all, instead of with /r/

yep, should use /i/ for subs instead of /r/ because the latter is, most of the time, associated with reddit.

from a ui perspective, i think this is correct.

the only issue will be losing familiarity for reddit users.
