Stirling Campbell:
Best of luck. I'll have to check it out. Having said that, my experience with Reddit (specifically the Zen community) is that it's impossible to have anything like constructive conversations their due to the general immaturity of the posters, who are all looking for "gotcha" moments and flame wars... one reason why I HIGHLY value this community.
Couldn't agree more. Many subreddits are very low-quality. But there are also some that are very high-quality. The most important prerequisite to a high-quality online community, apart from getting the right people to participate, appears to be good, strong moderation backed by clear and consistent policies.
Reddit is great for reducing the friction of participating, but the flip side to that is that things can rapidly degenerate without good moderation. I was motivated to do this specifically to try to grow a high-quality community instead, in contrast to all the low-quality meditation/spirituality/religion subreddits.

That's why participation and help from DhO folks is so crucial. Perhaps you'd like to be a moderator, Stirling? Could be a fun experiment!
