Ex-Reddit exec launches 'Imzy,' a warmer, fuzzier Reddit

Some subreddits are heavily moderated, AskHistorians for instance. If you feel there is demand for a heavily moderated subreddit about bikes or your local news, you could create it and be the moderator.

But the prevailing zeitgeist is anti-moderation, and I'd be in competition with the other biking subreddits. I do wholeheartedly agree with you about the quality of AskHistorians, but that's a good example _because_ it stands out in a see of crappy, snarky, shallow communities (like r/NYC or r/politics)

But you don't need the prevailing zeitgeist. The low quality content can live in /r/bikes with all the crap tha t a front-page sub endures, and the high quality content can be happily moderated in /r/pedalpower

Make your own subreddit about bikes, and crosspost good pieces from unmoderated ones.
