How many moderators do you have, and what are the criterion for banning/blocking posts?

#12Maybe I'm biased, but in the last days there were plenty of Show HNs about social networks: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21252544 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21241476 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21224211 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21312318
All centralized, too. :(

#13You can do without voting. All you need is a way to discern what is popular, in order to display 'popular' and 'new' categories. For example by measuring comments and clicks, maybe the amount of time users spend on the comment page relative to the amount of comments. Not a great idea since it can be gamed, but what can't nowadays. It would probably favor clickbait, violence, etc like every other system. The only esca…
content is not valuable just because someone clicked it, you cant know its valuable until after having read it. otherwise its all about the headline, which is a bit of a reality of modern day news, but this would just make that situation worse.
secondly just because you dont want to comment doesn't mean its not valuable.
so basically this just seems like a plainly terrible idea.

#14The heading/title should say:
“We reimplemented reddit, but took out the feature of reddit that made reddit a success”

#15The heading/title should say: “We reimplemented reddit, but took out the feature of reddit that made reddit a success” PS: the OP’s site is now super NSFW. I assume someone is tying to prove a point :)
From the show HN rules linked at the very top of the page:
In Comments
Be respectful. Anyone sharing work is making a contribution, however modest.
Ask questions out of curiosity. Don't cross-examine.
Instead of "you're doing it wrong", suggest alternatives. When someone is learning, help them learn more.
When something isn't good, you needn't pretend that it is. But don't be gratuitously negative.

It's interesting that they're all Reddit derivatives.
