Human content.

Lack of karma. It was a stupid idea that encouraged spam.

IIRC Digg had the equivalent before with the famous powerusers.

Here are a few:

• Allowing to hide karma visible to the user.
• Good content.
• The blocking system (Reddit's way of blocking is used to piss people off).
• Genuine debates (as far as that is possible).
• Not being immediately banned from the entire site when an AI decides you did something wrong (I can't back this up but I firmly believe Reddit uses AI to moderate their entire site).

Me.

Me 🥰 also: my data 😝

Up AND downvotes visible instead of just the net sum.

morals. Ethics. Basic human decency...

Community made apps.

more like what we don't have: a corporate overlord

Reddit as a company doesn't want anything the fediverse has because that would impact their cash flow.

Tankies

Public modlog

A nice and human scale userbase.

I did help mod a community on Reddit. Daily, so many reports it took a team of us to manage them. I was on there for about 15 years, it's not a recent problem.

I single handedly (so far) mod a community here. 2.5 years, two reports total. What a joy.

Piefed has the ability to move posts. You can move your post if you decide you made a mistake, or the mods can move a post they've decided is off-topic. A request for tech support could be moved from a conversation community to a support community where it belongs, without forcing the user to resubmit.

If you mess up and say something stupid, there's a button you can press that says "I changed my mind about this comment". The comment remains visible, but everyone sees a disclaimer that you no longer believe what you said, and they can't reply. No more replies telling you the same thing, and you don't look like a sneaky coward. Other people get to learn from your mistake.

You can follow microblogs from Piefed. I'm following George Takie, I can see his toots from My Piefed account.

You can set your pronouns and they'll appear next to your name on most communities. Species too, if you're otherkin.

There's a list of new communities and a separate list of active communities in the homepage sidebar. Communities are also organised into topics, so you can find new communities to join more easily.

Less bots

Freedom

Fewer dumb kids.

better post sorting

better search

actual commies (thank god no "I'm leftist but")

So many people already listed so many things Reddit wishes they could have so i'm going to say what they wish they don't have, a corporate boot on their throats and a dumbass CEO.

A non bot comunity. I swaer reddit is just a bunch of bots and paid actors trying to convince eachother the ideals of whoever is paying them is correct.

Moderators who do not ban you if your opinion differs from theirs

The ability to post things on a new account.

Drama.
