"Responsibilities are guarded jealously. Knowledge is hoarded, because making oneself irreplaceable is the only lever one has to protect oneself from future layoffs. I see all of this at Google now."
My father, a machine mechanic, gave me the same advice years ago. In my mind stuff like this only applied to blue collars so I didn't give it too much thought. Only later did I realize (after the company I was at became so mismanaged) he was 100% right.
Nothing in there would be regulating them, just more transparency so users can see who gets banned and whether or not they want to view deleted comments.
I'd probably turn off deleted comments in a r/games subreddit but would 100% have them on for a political subreddit for example.
"A place for all content types - No matter what you make, Nonio is equipped to support it. With no advertisers, you aren’t at risk of having your content demonetized."
How far are you willing to go to defend this? There's been lots of technical talk in this thread so far, but I'm curious on this portion.
So far I'm LOVING the UI. I actually think you should drop the payment part ASAP and just push for more users in the standard social media format.
I also think a staggered release of new "tags" is a fantastic idea, but needs to scale ASAP (until the site is ready for users to create their own hashtags/subreddits)
EDIT: After using this more, it's so exciting and fun to see something so new and fresh. It really feels like I'm back in 2010.
You can make the community building tools so much more powerful too!
If people want to make a bird community and ban all pro-hawk posters, that's perfectly fine. The issue's are around the secrecy in administration.
How about adding the following:
- Removing shadowbans
- Allow users to see all deleted comments if they opt in
- Allow users to see all banned accounts/reasons they got banned.
Imagine a page for each subreddit which includes a list of banned/removed comments. It would be quite telling on the moderation if that list was mostly non-spam disagreements.
How about including an internet "Bill of Rights" for free speech, illogical arguments, etc to try and help guide the flow of discussion, similar to how /pol/ has this in their rules - https://i.4cdn.org/pol/1493993226750.jpg
How about we take this opportunity to go back to the old internet to a time where real free speech ruled. Remember how reddit started off, where ANYTHING went no matter what (as long as it was legal)?
Do people have the courage for that anymore? I certainly do, and I'd love to hear from those who disagree in complete free speech for the next Reddit.
Didn't the UK basically have that with DeepMind until Google bought them out? I'd suspect DeepMind would be a fantastic competitor to OpenAi today had they not sold.
