In terms of a libertarian community, I was honestly appealed to by the community on GoldandBlack, but the community was so fragmented over on Reddit that larger discussions simply didn't happen. The fragmentation was partly due to the chapo's and admins tearing up subs on one side, and partly due to nationalists and their "I like freedom, but" on the other side.

I would say that condensing the budding Saidit libertarian communities into one or two, and rounding up everyone already on the site would be a good first step. Maintaining a stringently consistent moderation system would reduce some of the issues that eventually ruined r/Libertarian.

So first, condense the groups, let's have all of us here on Saidit in one or two subs. Second, develop a moderation platform, decide what does or does not fly. Third, let's get some content rolling out, whether it's discussions on topics, a compilation of essays/books, a wiki, or memes/news articles with conversation below. Once all of that is done, appealing to the more desirable subs on reddit would draw its better posters to here. The goal the whole time is to reduce the risk of chapo's or natties from showing up early on.
