Reddit

Front page of the Internet?

I like the decentralized moderation of Reddit with subreddits, the contents are based on my interest and the discussions are usually better than other forums, websites, or social media posts. I also like the benefit of it being in a centralized space, for easier sharing, discovering new things, looking for trends (r/all) and bringing the different communities together (r/place).

Edit (June 2023):

Sites

  • Killing Community
    • "The only way to make money is to grow, and the only way to grow is to kill the community."
    • To have that sense of belonging, the sense of village, it has to be a small community
    • Once there are strangers, guards are up by default and it's no longer a village
  • What we're learning from the Reddit blackout | The Verge
    • Devolving power to users can backfire, but devolving power is probably still the future of social media
    • Communication disaster leads to bad public relation
    • CEOs are taking cues from Elon Musk Twitter 2.0 moves
    • Other options for Redditors will emerge
