Yeah one key missing feature is subreddit creation and moderation.

Without all the free labor from moderators curating content for topics with different tastes and ideas about what the community should be, it's going to be a struggle to build a community.

Maybe that extra dollar should go to the mods? And the communities get to elect their mods so they can be held accountable. Maybe we won't get the MrBabyMan or POTATO_IN_MY_ANUS situation.

I am both amused by those names you cited, and absolutely not asking what they are.

Yeah, creating a community is hard work, all those free moderators made it possible, if not perfect.

Also, I'm mainly on sites like Reddit for the discussion, so those people creating millions of comments in communities are the main draw for me. Finding the perfect karma model was never the solution, we only ever needed one that was "good enough". And that's actually very easy, provided you aren't trying to frankenstein the algo-feed to serve advertisers.
