  • Don’t make it easier to join. Having a technical barrier to entry, even a minor one, helps keep the idiots that ruined Reddit out. History has shown, repeatedly, that when technology is easy for anyone to adopt, then every idiot imaginable will use it and drag down the average, and the interfaces tend to be dumbed down and constantly reinvented to enable said idiots easier access. Then you’re stuck with enshitification and “graphic design is my passion” feature and UI changes that nobody wants.














  • I’ll just invest that into a nice, stable, diverse stock portfolio then, and use the dividends to both live on and start a charitable non-profit. Building shelters, donating to politicians who champion human rights, education, healthcare, founding free clinics, angel investing in co-op businesses, and funding food banks isn’t giving away the money after all. it’ll be slow going but pay broader dividends down the road.
