    • Only text, no images and definitely no video. Links to other media allowed but telegraphed, either automatically or by cultural norm.

    • Metadata stripped from links, either automatically or by cultural norm.

    • Verified but private identity to cut down on trolling. Multiple usernames allowed per identity, but automatic ban evasion detection.

    • Accountable and transparent mods with a great deal of power and leeway.

    • Ranked threading, separate vote categories for high-low quality and agree-disagree.

    • Respectful and curious userbase.

    • No profit motive, no ads. This is something the Fed gets right.

    • Discussions are all opt-in, no defaults or “all” that drag unacclimated users into spaces with a focus. This is something that thefacebook does right.

    Note that I didn’t say free or inexpensive anywhere, but I would suggest a subsidized option for low-income users. This is something that MetaFilter does right.
