Idk if anyone remembers the user greenduch from SRS, but I believe she was involved in starting another reddit clone type website. Don't remember what it was called, but they were trying to go commercial, and they shut down not too long after opening because not enough people were using it. That was a looooong time ago though, and I don't think they were trying to associate it with the fempire, it was just supposed to be a less shitty version of reddit

I wasn't trying to say prime shouldn't have been a circlejerk. More like when non-troll redditors showed up on SRS and said they didn't understand why X was bad, I think it would've been better to say something like "This isn't the place for learning, please ask your question in SJ101," or directing them to resources instead of the benhemmer. Also when you say reading lists, do you mean a list of required texts to read before being allowed to participate, or just a list of texts relevant to a certain topic? And yeah, better faith 100%

I actually think the circle jerk part was fine. One sub for dunking and nothing else? If the targets were bad enough whatever.

The rest of the fempire could have been in better faith and lose the reading lists. (Reading lists for online groups are self flagellation and came out of the liberal feminists shakesville scene, which was basically a blog cult.)

You could have actual substantive discussion on /r/chapo which was good. The combination of being relatively lax and not trying to establish orthodoxy and not giving trolls and bad faith right wingers anything they wanted broadly worked. It avoided fiascos like /r/antiwork and socialist cat girls.

I'm only on niche hobbyist, academic and bdsm subreddits, of which the latter kinda suck - there's a lot of easy moralism there. Small enough groups and you can drift to your favorites over time. The wider culture is either mundane or bad.
