in what ways do you think kbin should strive to be different from Reddit?

    Awards. I just think they’re unnecessary for an internet forum.

      i wouldn’t totally mind this since it could go directly to funding the server/Ernest without ads, and people can show ‘extra love’ for posts they like, but i can understand why it would be disliked.

        I get wanting to donate to the server. I personally find them annoying and think it encourages people to troll to bait awards.

      other parts of the fediverse have emoji reactions already. you can emoji react to kbin posts from elsewhere, but it doesn’t show up on kbin.

      this means that kbin may eventually get something like Awards, but if they use the same APIs as emoji reactions, they won’t be paid.

      Or just improve on the awards system and make it shared donations between the instance owner and app developer. The more usage, the higher contributions probably.
