r/covid19 is a great source of information, but the mods police it very heavily to keep it that way.
What have you read there that was such an insightful piece of information?

You can't tell me if you placed advertising on Pornhub, your brand is not going to get recognized by men all over. I realize it's not what a lot of prudish corporations care for, but is it really going to affect Pepsi or mcdonalds if they just have an ad for one of their products next to that? Not a single person would think of less of them and only the media would criticize them.
The marketing for those brands is all about getting you to passively think of them as wholesome enjoyment. Even allowing for the dubious discounting of media influence, do you really think a porn McDonalds association is something they want to have in a dad’s mind when considering where to take his family for lunch?

> One look at the front page makes this glaringly obvious. What does this mean?
It likely means he’s upset Reddit isn’t a clone of OANN.

If they ever remove old Reddit they're done. So many communities use it exclusively and will just walk if forced into the new shite.
Old reddit users are last I checked in the Reddit traffic stats I had access to around 1-2% of active posters, and mobile overall is thumping desktop reddit several times over. By the time New Reddit was launched old reddit wasn't even the primary way to view the site anymore. Nowadays new reddit crushes old reddit. Reddit doesn't need it's old users, it doesn't need you, and it doesn't need me. It could kill off old…
I doubt they tell their friends about it either.

> what is the reddit replacement? I keep looking and monitoring promising replacements but haven't found one yet. I do think the ultimate way forward is going to be some kind of federated system where each "subreddit" is hosted individually and there are aggregators which glue them together, either as a hosted portal or as individual apps. One of the things that has been killing me is that small interesting subreddit…
I'm working on something that may interest you. It's still a work-in-progress, but we have communities (subreddits), publications/articles (medium), galleries, and normal user feeds.

That being said, your e-mail field doesn't generate an e-mail to sign up, from what I can tell.
HN should prey Reddit keeps their marbles together, because you all know the place big chunk of their ursebase would fled to. I know I did.
Friendly tip (in case that wasn't autocorrect in action) - "prey" is someone/something that is hunted, "pray" is what people do to talk to their favorite immortal deity or what-have-you.

I like it, maybe because it's small and not full of garbage, but I also like the simple layout. That being said, your e-mail field doesn't generate an e-mail to sign up, from what I can tell.

yes because it's heavily moderated. and most of the removed content is .. unsurprisingly politics

I follow one of these communities, and the hard part is that the old Reddit is broken in it’s own way, and we’re guaranteed it will never be fixed. It’s basically a lose lose situation all around.

Yea, but those niche subreddits are getting rarer and rarer. There's some kind of goldilocks zone where subs are popular enough to be active with interesting content, but not popular enough to devolve into no-effort meme spam. Or possibly terrible moderation ruins the sub completely. Or the official Reddit fun-police shuts you down. I left that cess pool behind about a year ago, and I don't miss it.
Same here. Reddit wouldn't be so bad if they literally didn't shut down every subreddit just because the psychotically loud minority said so. Plus it boggles my mind why they would do that. You are actively telling your users to go elsewhere. That's literally money and engagement walking out the door. And a lot of it. Now it's just memes, "The republicans are evil again...!", and "My mother who sold me to an african…
Downvote is also used as disagree a lot on HN, it's just that with the minimum karma requirement there are fewer users that can downvote than those that can upvote so it's slightly less visible.
