As a former redditor I am glad to have found a new “home” and I hope I’m not intruding. Nevertheless, we are all a huge migration that is bound to change how kbin works and we’re bound to piss off some pre-migration Keebinetters. The fact you guys were here before and not in reddit makes evident you don’t want this to become a carbon copy of reddit. From the interface to the group dynamics, please lets us now…

What can we do NOT to ruin kbin for you?

    My thoughts on this is that things shouldn’t be changed to conform with how Reddit did things.

    I saw people saying that default settings need to be changed because that’s what Reddit people would expect by default and it’s like … How about no?

    I’m part of the migration (Saturday), but I don’t want this to become Digg3.0! I want it to be better and its own thing.

    Now, those settings I was talking about (basically who/what you follow is shown to others by default), I fully think those settings should be changed by default, but not because that’s how reddit did it, but because it’s a good idea (imho).

    We’ve also got to keep in mind that KBin is basically a one man operation right now and not a company with 2000 people and expectations need to go through that filter first. This site is fucking amazing with that in mind and I think if you just look at it as Reddit 2.0 it’s easy to forget the achievements that Ernest has made.
