Are you making a reddit clone but with bitcoin involved? or are you trying to make something cultivate something unique?
I just see literal redditors come here and want to turn SN into reddit. I'm sure @Darthcoin has a whole folder of stars wars pictures with "FUCK REDDIT" edited into them. think about those images.
subreddits are places where anyone can become their own ruler over any particular topic, splintering off from the collective to create their own ruleset for how others shall behave in their shiny new echo chamber.
here's a direct quote from @k00b indirectly floating the concept of subs/moderators.
Beyond this... Today it's a "Economics" sub, tomorrow it's a "Finance" sub, the day after it's an "Investing" sub, the day after that it's a "Music" sub, the day after that it's a "Education" sub, the day after that it's a "Health" sub, the day after that it'll be a "News" sub, the day after that it'll be a "Science" sub, the day after that it'll be a "Culture" sub, the day after an "Artificial Intelligence" sub, or an "Art" sub, or an "AI-Art" sub or a blah blah blah (I could literally go on like this for a while) then we'll want specific subs to our specific geographical locations.. or specific political leanings.. our own languages.. splinter splinter splinter splinter.
and then the reposts... the same article showing up in the Bitcoin sub, the Tech sub, the Finance sub. The same articles every day showing up in News, in Economics, in Tech, in AI, in Business etc. SPAM SPAM SIGNAL SPAM.
Reddit is basically already terrible. SN should take many queues from Bitcoin... slow methodical purposeful meaningful changes, adaptive fees, limited space, open source, decentralized... Let Papa Bitcoin guide you.

Moderator is dirty word to you and me both - bud - so chill on putting words in my mouth please.
Otherwise, I've enjoyed your criticisms of sub-communities vs labels and I think all the problems you identify with sub-communities are valid.

I think you're taking the comparison to Reddit too literally. There are definitely problems with Reddit (which is probably why we're here in the first place) but we want to copy the good parts from reddit - obviously not the bad parts.
People usually say "it's X but with Y". Doesn't mean it's literally "X but with Y".

That's actually exactly what we are striving for!
It's our overarching goal to align SN with Bitcoin's ethos yet still make a product the average bitcoiner loves to use.
