A community for sharing those miniature epiphanies you have that highlight the oddities within the familiar.

The hard part of recreating the Reddit experience while kbin gets off the ground is that there’s very little stuff to repost.

As an old Redditor, I hated reposts or crossposts. This is not creating contents, it’s just flooding a sub/magazine with the same thing. Karma farming was a dumb thing that screwed content diversity.

Does kbin have a "karma" of sorts? Because I'm now wondering if removing that mechanism wouldn't be good for originality. The only effect karma had on me was that I wanted to get more of it, like a score to increase. And it's definitely a major contributor to reposting

I agree. This is a great thing to see. I’d rather see fresh content instead of bots reposting the same topics in multiple subs. This feels more like a community with actual people. Plus, the “Reddit speak” was kind of annoying. Done for karma farming but otherwise meaningless.
