Rather than blindly upvoting everything, upvote accordingly. Also, try to post stuff in various subs and add comments.

For this site to truly work, we need to forget reddit. I'd bet most people are here because of what reddit has become.

Thing is Reddit was initially an interesting and functional place.

The vote system was democratic, and enabled genuinely popular or worthy posts.

Maybe it's because I was there from its nascent days, but I always recall it have a very open feel. The system worked essentially.

The problem wasn't the machine, but the user. Heavy handed moderation that has become literal censorship has ruined it.

I can only gather you named yourself antifa as satire?

Reddit is absolutely crazy with what it moderates!

Yeah I got banned from many subs for larping as a racist antifa member.

So I went for the name in irony.

No it's a far left account. It's just that reddit also censors them, so they get to wrap themselves in sackcloth and pretend to be oppressed too.

It would be good if there was a natural kind of "view count" that went up when somebody clicked on a thread or passed a comment. That would help show where people are most interested in as well.

Hmm reddit had this until like a year or 2 ago, i'm pretty sure.
