#113I 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…
I think you just read the reinvented Delicious.
I’d once built a Reddit with tags (or a Delicious with votes) 12 years ago. Never really took off and I shuttered it after 2 years.

That would remove the “community bubble”, which is an important aspect I think.
However, a feature making easier to x-post can do the trick, maybe?

#115How 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…
Penny Arcade was complaining about people on Unreal Tournament 2004, which was pseudonymous. The real driver of toxicity was the hyper-competitive nature of the game he was playing.
You should see how some people act in real life playing hockey or soccer. Everybody knows their real names, but that doesn't stop them from being assholes.

Hard disagree. Communities are about give and take, the early internet was driven by people hosting bulletin boards, IRC servers, web servers, etc. There…

Unfortunately I have no choice in this regard. I do no have the means to resist any sort of ddos. I remember at one point you could set the 'cloudflare security level' to low, but when I looked in the UI today I could not find such an option.
If there exists a solution to either not using cloudflare, or some option hidden away that allows me to tell clouflare o fuck off with how it treats traffic, I'd love to know.

This used to be a lot easier. Now reddit doesn't let you create an account without an email (and most burner email tools are blocked like https://www.mailinator.com/ .
Actually it does. Just hit "next" when it prompts for an email. I just created another account 30 seconds ago, no email required.
My comments often don't show up when I don't verify an email address, which severely limits the use of anonymous accounts.

#118Have you thought about making the data distributed and p2p? that way it's more resilient. Reddit at one stage was also minimalist and open source
Why don't we just bring back Usenet?
To be fair Reddit was basically Usenet in web form for the longest of time. Then they needed to make money.

#119Total anonymity is the fastest way to get law enforcement on your back IME, unless you enjoy spending your day dealing with takedowns.

#120Nice work! I really like the UI and the concept.
I got excited by your post because I'm building a reddit-clone too.
It's called Dinomia and it's a just-for-fun concept with a transaction system.
Each time you upvote something an "upvote / credit" is transferred from you to the author of the post, like sending money. When you create a post/comment/community you loose X "upvote/credits" etc.
I hope Ieddit has great success and congratulations again for the work you have done.
