Poll on how best to move forward with growing this group:
-
Start copying the top posts from the subreddit here with attribution for now until hopefully someday the group gets big enough to generate its own content. ie.:
Title: “Reddit Credit: [FrostyMin] Tremble before China’s new war machine westoid” -
Lower the standards to rock bottom here, everyone just post what comes to your mind and upvote what you like, downvote what you don’t. Hope the quality slowly improves
-
Ask people to cross post both here and on Reddit and hope to gradually build with people posting things at the same quality level as they would on the subreddit.
I think option 1 is the best bet, but what are your thoughts?
@heyspencerb Allowing a free for all and then using upvotes/downvotes as a measure of what should or shouldn’t be allowed would be a good inside-out way to build the rules (tho I think they should be more guidelines, lets not become rule nazis).
I will try and make some effort to cull stuff from Reddit, and double up my posts here. Is there a way we can scrape Reddit and automate it, or vice-versa?
I think attribution is important but it would be stupid to try and hold others to that, what am I going to do, find the original poster of every meme on the internet? But I will probably give attribution, if others don’t want to then oh well!
@heyspencerb I agree, attribution is important but up to the individual poster. I would always do it just to not steal credit/updoots.
What about a bot that takes the top N posts from Reddit and posts them here with the following format: “u/example_user: Post title”?
