Well… if every angry ex-redditor bought a share they could take the platform down. :)
I used to like Jenny Mustard, but unfortunately at this point she’s a minimalist in name only. I get that her fashion content caught on and she’s pursuing that, which is understandable, but her older content was a lot more interesting to me personally.
I really liked that she was willing to explore ideas, for example she did a great video on why she doesn’t want kids. She just kind of did her own thing without worrying too much about doing what she was “supposed” to do, which I appreciated.
Not a lot. Unlike other communities, the knowledge and culture very much lives in the minds of the individuals that make up the community, so you don’t lose as much when something like this happens.
I would want to see a bigger mod team. 1-2 person mod teams rarely go well, and there’s too much influence from each person. The best mod teams tend to consist of 5-6 people.
In general, I would also prefer a discussion forum. Pictures and news articles have their place occasionally, especially if they’re conducive to discussion, but in general discussion based posts are (in my personal opinion) preferable for this type of community, and the previous sub was very much oriented around that.
As the community grows, megathreads might be of value - a big issue with the previous sub was that a lot of longtime users would just leave because new users would just keep posting the same questions over and over again, so there wasn’t a lot of retention, which is too bad - it’s nice to have a mix of new and more seasoned users.
That doesn’t mean a whole lot. If one school in the country offers an elective, is the country highlighted? Certainly we didn’t have widespread classes in ancient anything.
