Would having redditors join SA and moderators probate them to de-condition reddit behavior add something to SA?

RFC2324 posted:the gently caress? So hear me out. I love SA, I love to post. But presumably there is a reason why some people in this thread keep saying they go to some specific subforum on reddit, for some specific niche. I guess what I'm saying is how can you bring those niches here, so that people can still partake in that discussion without the uh reddit. FYI: I don't use reddit, and any time I have tried I give up because of the nested comments, upvotes, and fart huffing. But because some goons are using it, I imagined it would be a cool experience for them to have those people here. And I want SA to last forever so if we had more signups etc, then it would.

I dunno about anyone else, but I know my reddit uses are subjects where the upvote system is actually useful(getting tips for games and hobbies). The consistent problem is that the system and layout are terrible for conversation or discussion, and encourage super duper lovely posting outside of major effort posts. SA is more about shitposting in a coherent way, and I think that would ultimately drive redditors away because their little gimmicks are laid bare when you don't have 1000 people making sure your stupid reference is the first thing people see Or maybe its the weed talking.

Generally speaking, you go to a niche subreddit to mine for the one useful comment and ignore the other 99% of garbage. So yeah, if you can find a way to entice the 1% of redditors with actual useful input and discourage the 99% of shitheads commenting single lines of Bohemian Rhapsody one after another then I think you've cracked the Internet.

I never even know how they found that two year old post in the first place, but it happens a lot. What makes it infinitely more active? Just more people? I find that some threads I post in on SA are small, as in, maybe <10 people post in it, but I get responses same day, and discussions last for very long periods of time. What's it like on Reddit? I feel like the updoot system would bury your post pretty quickly as people switch over to the next top post. If it is amount of posters, is that really a benefit if, from what this thread says, it's a bunch of people just memeing and posting song lyrics, or agreeing with a top comment with nothing to add?

It's not necessarily about being more active, or even me needing to post anything, it's just occasionally a really good way to sort currently relevant discussions/posts.

Reddit is great because google will show you 5 year old reddit posts of people asking the same question you're now googling for and also getting no answer.

RFC2324 posted:Every question is either on reddit or quora, and tbh reddit is more entertaining than quora Quora is neat for some specific niches, since you'll randomly get old people with first-hand experience answering questions about what they worked on. I sort of lucked into being a top writer a few years ago (for having a couple of answers that ended up with a lot of views), but I couldn't really tell you why I spent the time. I guess the best I can offer is that it's sort of like Yahoo Answers but with actual moderation and some competent people? It's still a weird place full of fanboys, students cheating on homework questions, and obvious Chinese propaganda workers stirred in with opaque moderation, more opaque politics, and badly explained "paying people to post questions"-programs. I've basically left.
