Newcomers: Let's make sure Saidit is better than Reddit. This shouldn't be a place to waste time, but to have productive and intelligent discussions. by Aureus in whatever

The best thing about (early) reddit was the fact that you could make it whatever you wanted by subscribing to subreddits with similar taste. If you wanted memes, subscribe to memes, if you wanted (insert topic) discussion, you could find a place for it. I would argue that the decay of this principal is what's killing reddit now. Their are too many people that want every sub to fit their own sensibilities.

Beside, saidit already has the insightful/fun upvote system which is a stroke of genius and should ideally make it much easier to sort through the memes and find real discussion.
