As a former redditor I am glad to have found a new “home” and I hope I’m not intruding. Nevertheless, we are all a huge migration that is bound to change how kbin works and we’re bound to piss off some pre-migration Keebinetters. The fact you guys were here before and not in reddit makes evident you don’t want this to become a carbon copy of reddit. From the interface to the group dynamics, please lets us now…

What can we do NOT to ruin kbin for you?

    In my humble opinion, screw that noise. Bring the reddit party here. The best thing we can do is show Reddit we didn’t need their platform to continue the fun.

    We are Reddit, the narwhal bacon’s at midnight my friends.

      To some extent, but I agree with @ski. I was on Reddit pre-Digg and did my fair share of baconing at midnight with France. But that said, I don’t really want Reddit 2.0.

      To agree with you, though, @NumbersCanBeFun, I think we can show Reddit that we don’t need their platform by creating something new and unique here that fits our needs. The fediverse is a pretty cool place, and we can create a section the way we want it. Let’s make it awesome on our own terms, not beholden to any ideas of “how things have always been done”.

        You know what, I’m open to both those ideas. Change is just as good. Maybe I got a little to hyped up on trying to make a point 🍻

              This whole exchange is reminding me of how reddit used to be. I didn’t realize how far the site had fallen.

                Do you remember how proper grammar used to be a big deal and any typos in the post title would get eviscerated in the comments?

                  How about when people actually followed reddiquette for the most part? Reddit really did use to have a cozy feel to it. Big enough that there was something for everyone, but not so big that you never saw the other parts of the site.
