Looks like it's still in the planning stages. But looks like a cool project.

There are three people here who are telling you that they don't see "downvoters for disagreement" as normalized practice. I presume all three of us were also on Reddit, and we can all help shape a different culture to here. You talk of "bringing Redditors" like Reddit users are complete different species than you.

I want to bring people. Lots of them. The majority of them will not be interesting to you or me. That's okay. What made Reddit so great was that it attracted so many people that it had a really long tail of niches.

The Fediverse needs people. And I am not saying that because I am seeking "power" or "influence". I am saying it because if we keep this reactionary "it's fine like this, keep the barbarians away" mentality, the whole thing will stagnate and die. And I don't want to lose our best shot at bringing back an open web for everyone.
