Place is fun. Glad to see that it’s going to happen here too.
It seems there is a fair number of people wanting to “not copy Reddit.” But it seems they forget that the whole reason they are on Lemmy/Kbin is to find an alternative to Reddit, that basically works like Reddit. The sentiment of “don’t do what Reddit does” should apply only to the shifty stuff Reddit does, like cutting off API access to good developers.
as long as the "Fuck Spez" tags are kept to a minimum
I agree. Place is an awesome idea and its inventor doesn’t even work for reddit anymore. The idea extends beyond Reddit, so why not have a big canvas for lemmy?
As much as a lot of people want to shit on Reddit (myself included), they did do some things right over the years.
