My first instinct would be to region lock the entire site so that only first world, western countries have access. My initial thought was that this would increase discuss quality, but then I realized how much of the turd world makes up the west. I’m not talking about assimilated immigrants; you know who I’m talking about.

So ultimately geo locking the site might still be ass due to all the retards with a phone in their pocket.

I just want a site with intelligent, meaning full conversation. That goes for trolling as well. The quality of both are in the toilet, and this site is no different. Not to be that guy, but there’s no going back.
>>
>>109627160
Then you should stop posting here. I don't want to come to 4chan to read posts where people are bitching about 4chan's "quality". Don't like the site? Then leave. It's not our problem.

Maybe region bans too. Also possibly post limits.
I guess the boring answer is "I sell my 1 year of access to an ad company."

Reddit was only ever good for a year or two after the digg migration when it was 90% white American men and we'll never have the boys club back.
Shut it down.

1) Open source it
2) Open the API
3) Hash matching to shadowban accounts that repost images for 3 minutes, 30 minutes, 5 hours, 15 hour's, 48 hours, 30 days, 6 months and 1 year
4) Take out the integrated AI
5) Default sort by New
6) Automatically down rank links from the front of Google News
7) Restrict foidslop subreddits (both pro and anti)
8) Shadowban India & Germany
9) Ban all reddit drama subs like Downvotedtoblivion
10) Add a Stablecoin (it's presented as just being a return to Reddit Gold but it's a Stablecoin and we'll conveniently ignore that people are gonna use it to buy drugs)

The original owner killed himself because his free speech absolutism got him into legal trouble as reddit used to be the CP/rape/snuff headquarters of the internet in its early years.
>>
>>109627110
They allow racism on X now because they ramped up their shadowban algorithm.
If you post anything racist or antisemitic, your post stays up but it is only shown to a very small group of people.
They are letting retards shout into a void

I don't need a full year, I'd just want it for one April 1st: I'd cross link this site and that one. As in: our boards are there and their subreddits here. Go to reddit.com/r/pol to shitpost (accounts, the whole shit), and go to 4chan.org/thedonald to redditpost (fully anonymous, sage, the whole thing). Then april 2nd it's back to normal, but the posts remain on their respective boards/subreddits.

take it down.
shred source code, so it can't be recovered. redirect reddit.com to goatse.

Giving it back means whatever I do has to be subtle so they don't notice. Chances are they'll diff the codebase so I'll firstly fill it full of useful upgrades and stuff they won't want to roll back; then hide in some stupid things that'll annoy people down the line that they can't find to remove.

1. upon creation, every subreddit is to require the approval of a moderator.
2. increase transparency while implementing a more hands-on approach to moderation.
3. make new reddit good for old reddit users to where we can kill off old reddit by turning it into old reddit.

Safeedgy blatant racism
We have to admit the far right is getting astroturfed the same way antifa did. You can post crime stats and stereotypes all you want but once you start getting into an ideology where it makes sense suddenly only 3 people see your post despite having 300 followers.

Might be a weird take but I would limit how many subreddits a moderator could moderate at once.
I think part of the problem with reddit as it exists now is that a small group of moderators controls several popular subreddits, which leads to the echo chamber effect by them taking down comments that they dislike.
I would also like an option to filter out certain subreddits categories entirely (ex. politics or gaming) and also a way for the front page to display content from only subreddits you follow.
I shit on reddit a lot but it's genuinely a useful site with lots of content on it, I just would never use it for social media because of the issues I mentioned above.

ban all bots and trump posts outside of explicitly political subreddits so its less of a cesspool of low iq leftist radicalism

FOSS-iffy it into a fediverse platform to allow it to be interoperable across many instances; if someone gets their panties in a twist over some sub, they don't have to host it but so long as there is an instance somewhere that does, it will be redirected to that version. There will also be obfuscation of server locations to prevent people from trying to DDOS anyone hosting an instance they don't like or whatnot.

Other than just close it or whatever. If I were to actually try and improve it:

>remove karma/upvotes/gold/likes whatever
>probably keep accounts for moderation purposes, but make it so you can't see post history
>open source license as much stuff as possible, make it more into a community project than a wannabe techbro venture
>make the layout not absolute fucking garbage
>give more individual control for each subreddit in terms of moderation or allowing anonymous names, region-bans and so on, if people want 4chan or bluesky, they can choose
>>
>>109626419
- Remove votes and the "algorithm"
- Remove supermoderators
- Remove "default subs"
- Remove inter-sub posting history, but make intra-sub posting history mandatory
- An option to make certain subs "anonymous" between users (you still need an account to post)
- Default and only sorting method by new
- Flat threads only.
- Desktop-optimized interface not a second-class citizen

These are what I'd do at the minimum. Basically, make it a modernized version of 4chan.

Take it all down. Fill the front page with google ads to farm click money from the retards who are coming to check after seeing the inevitable "reddit gets deleted" news makes it out.
Sell all the data from the most deranged political, feminist, and trans subreddits to American AI companies for free to poison their AI models.
After the adsense clicks die down I'll sell off all the physical datacenter hardware that was used to run reddit (assuming they owned any and it wasn't rented), and then auction off the rights to have the reddit domain redirect to some other website.

install cryptominers
force the users of any subreddit dedicated to animals to write a daily native american land acknowledgement or else permab&

Put a bunch of like-minded people in charge of moderation and all subreddits. Make it a 20 year employment contract for 20 million dollars paid in million dollar sums after the first year. Add in the contract that if fired, the must be paid the remaining sum of the contract. This way all mods can't be fired or they'd bankrupt the site instantly.
