What are the technology challenges is Reddit facing? Clearly not scaling as it's been pretty reliable. New features? What more feature does one need from Reddit? It's pretty good for what it's doing.
With spez being back, hopefully it will change. he doesnt have a habbit of bullshitting, unlike recent CEOs.
Their shadowbanning is the worst, I have an 8 year old account and I was shaddowbanned countless time, I was finally un-shadowbanned after years of whining about it.
I have a feeling Spez will get this right. Lets see.
In contrast, every page load by a logged-in user requires unique database queries for things like vote status on submissions and comments.
Basic forum moderation tools like IP banning persistent troublemakers and spammers are still not available.
edit: I saw you posted a few challenges :) I don't work for reddit but if you're a moderator Id be interested to PM you about something around that...
The admins have recently made some changes to that (threaded modmail), so there's definitely some improvement in that direction though.
If any DuckDuckGo guy around here, is there a command for reddit search, like !rd or something.
