If you could build a new reddit from scratch how would you change it? The mod, subs, comments structure etc. Would you add something like group chat? Incorporate Jow Forums style images in comments etc? How do you host all communities (left, right etc) while being neutral?
New Reddit

Getting rid of the karma system. Hopefully the circle jerk will stop.
fpbp
I wouldn't. I'd build an anonymous imageboard backed on IPFS.
Rule #1: Asking to ban or remove someone that didn't broke the rules get you banned
Rule #2: No CP
Rule #3: No flood
Get rid of upvotes or make them invisible.
wtf
new reddit threads should be banned
or filter reddit to sóy
don't allow posts go to below 0 karma
get rid of the hierarchial reply chain
why should they be banned you stupid retard? It's not like people make these threads daily. Filter reddit threads and fuck off
keep upvotes, get rid of karma
get rid of the karma system. add post numbers. don't have nested comments, rather allow a 4chanx 'lookahead' feature. boom all of a sudden reddit wouldn't be a massive retarded 5 year old meme recycling center. Get rid of gold. Don't allow editing of posts either.
edit Instructions unclear; dick stuck in captcha.
edit edit thanks for the gold, kind stranger!
edit edit edit: grammar
Add a logs for bans, deletes; "all time" actually goes back all 8yrs, add a anonymous mode you can comment anonymously. Make comments easier to follow and more readable
>It's not like people make these threads daily
fuck you reddit cunt
why don't (You) go back
leave
remove usernames
>get a much more usable desktop U
>don't sell out subs to astroturfers like the politics sub
>don't edit users posts who I disagree with politically
>don't pin left wing circle jerk topics to the front page to manufacture exposure
>don't manufacture fake grass roots ad campaigns shilling for net neutrality
same as now but with algo to randomly insert holohoax pills into faggitors' feeds
All these none stop reddit threads, I swear to God. Newfags have no shame.
I remember when mods would fill these threads with public bans.
Get rid of karma.
User registration to post but all comments are anonymous.
Basically combine Jow Forums and Reddit.
no registration no ads
sage
This.
>don't edit users posts who I disagree with politically
this was unironically the best thing spez ever did and if you disagree you hate fun
reported off topic fuck reddit
>Basically combine Jow Forums and Reddit.
8ch?
>get rid of gold
they make money from that ya know
Get rid of upvotes/downvotes. Let any post that isn't against US law be allowed. e.g. nigger, faggot, niggerfaggot, etc are fine.
Remove karma
Remova account
I'd build an automatic redirect to Jow Forums.
Karma is OK, but anonymize all post.
I mean voting, not karma.
Upvote/downvote is OK, but remove the "karma" global counter.
There are no laws against hate speech in the US, didn't know that. Huh. Makes sense.
Too much moderation and they're nonstop talking about how much they hate Jow Forums. It's like they want to break up but never were actually able to.
>If you could build a new reddit from scratch how would you change it?
no karma
better upvote/downvote system
anonymous posting
some kind of system that certify a post has not been altered by mods
better ui
open source everything even server-side code
It's funny because I though you were talking about Reddit for a second.
Remove karma, no faster archiving, images with comments and text-posts. HTML + CSS customization, keep original design, ban people with -1000 downvotes or more
1. Make it work 100% without JS
2. Think of a way to make it decentralized
3. Remove private messages completely, so people go somewhere else if they want to talk in private
4. Obviously, it'd be 100% free software, client and server side
My biggest issue with Reddit is that it sold itself to Microsoft and advertisers. They're implementing more aggressive tracking every day (now they're using fingerprintjs2) and the owners don't really care about privacy.
I also believe private messages are bad by design for that kind of site. It encourages people to talk "privately", but without any kind of encryption/secure channel for them. This can't be fixed without going full social network style (ie. implementing a proper chat with the signal protocol, which would need JS to run in-browser) and imo it'd be a bad decision.
tl;dr reddit tracks you and it sucks. we should go back to forums
Actually /b/ is dead and is a fb gap circle jerk. /x/ is a shadow of its former self and Jow Forumsconspiracy and Jow Forumsnosleep are far better.
Jow Forums lost all its tech savvy people to other parts of the internet and you'll get more in depth analysis on specific sub reddits.
Dont get me wrong I hated on reddit since it launched but lately it's far superior to tge shell of an imageboard Jow Forums is today.
I agree with most of the posts above, reddit is alright but tge circlejerk or brown nosing is the worst part about it. Theres usually a thousand comments just agreeing or saying how life changing a reply is and those posts get bumped to the top. Redundant posts should he reduced under a parent comment so that the content reads better.
Shut looks like imgur
I actually like the idea of imgur, i just don't like the site's implementation, the adds, the people that run the site nor the people that post on it. But good idea.
I'd just scrap the thing and make 4ch...
Oh wait
It would be funny if it was a funny edit or ban message, but he did it out of brooding rage toward political opinions he disagrees with. It was just censorship, not sure why that's hilarious.
This. As much as I like Jow Forums, Reddit's shit is organized a lot better.
Didn't they break up and formed 8gag poland and endchan?
Enforce anonymity (but with random ids by thread) thus killing that retarded karma system. Global moderation and chan like reply. Should be enough.
pic
Till this day i cant use it. Its just too clogged for my taste.
This. 4chinz should have a gold feature, that highlights the post somehow. I don't think it would change things much because threads 404, but gookmoot could pic up some extra cash and pay for his bandwidth
>what is Jow Forums pass
Not really the same thing. I have a pass because fuck capcha, I just think it would provide another stream of cash, albeit a small one
>Would you add something like group chat?
Definitely not.
I would add however an option to post anonymously so that faggots can't read your comment history. Voat.co actually implemented this I think.
I actually like karma, but I'd make it more like slashdot. No editing, rare moderation powers, meta-moderation.
ask people for the reasoning behind their upvote or downvote. Restrict that power from people who downvote just because they disagree or whatever. Karma is fine, it's not like anyone cares about it
>Too much moderation
Depends on the board honestly. 8/pol/ and /a/ are terrible, but other boards like /tv/, /tech/, /x/ and /kc/ have almost no moderation at all.
I can't login now on fucking reddit
fucking retards broke it.
I am livestreaming me working on a replacement for reddit/Jow Forums/facebook at youtu.be
>building it on python instead of something that actually scales well.
Who would want to watch that shit?
Learn go already.
Enable anonymous posting (persistent ID per thread).
Cross-site ID is probably the single most important factor in creating a culture of leftist censorship. Voting is only second.
I just had a genius idea
>get rid of accounts
>replace with per-thread IDs similar to the system here
>keep the upvote system
I feel like this has a decent chance of curbing the circlejerk and actually fulfilling the original idea of "good content rises to the top through a self-sustaining user-powered system".
You could even hide the actual vote scores - of course educated guesses based on the position relative to the top would still be possible, but it would be much less impulsive I feel. Or maybe display a percentage rating without disclosing the actual numbers.
Seems like this would remove a lot of incentive to make ebin posts for upboats and the like. Of course you can't get rid of it completely - even on Jow Forums people end up fishing for (You)s - but it would at least be a gigantic improvement, since the "permanent" record of all your "achievements" will be gone.
Of course there are other problems with moderation and stuff, but that's beyond the scope of this shitpost.
Only went to imgur for the porn and other NSFW pics. When I left because that's fucking bullshit. Why are they trying to be the next Instagram when there's already one that does it better?
fuck off kenster, buy terry a new laptop
That, or at the very least, make upvote/downvote scores hidden.
Does everyone sees the same sponsored posts or is it tailored to each user?
im getting tired of that
>"its never too late to seek help"
bullshit and wondering whether reddit demographic has such fragile psyche, or if it assumes im going to off myself
So, the same thing that Jow Forums does with Reddit?
Disable threading, still have upboats with reply system like Jow Forums (link based, not thread based) with order based on upboats instead of date
Give karma for voting (like Yik Yak)
no private subreddits
isn't the 4chanx default layout nested?
Only register users with real-life info so that when it's time for the camps, we have a list.
I'd keep everything about reddit except usernames, even karma, just make everyone Anonymous
Not karma, I meant upvotes/downvotes
No downvoting, not censoring subreddits because they're "offensive", ability to post anonymously and without an account.
no internet points
account optional
ability to force anonymity on sub forums
public moderation log option
I wouldn't because the site layout is dumb. 8 c h a n is already the ideal forum layout. Anyone can make an image board. It's like Reddit but with a better layout and better content due to the lack of retards.
Voat already exists.
Lurk moar.
Remove usernames and accounts, remove point system, make it foss again, make it easy for people to self host
Removing accounts means there shouldn't be a need for federation, otherwise if accounts are kept making the thing federated by implementing ostatus and activitypub might be a good idea.
Kill yourself you inbred faggot. You're just salty there's no popular autism conserving social media for you to jerk off with other inbreeders lol
