This seems like reddit except people don't submit the stories themselves? So far the comments are of very poor quality, but to be fair that's a small sample size (6), or maybe a large sample size (100% of the comments on the site).
Basically yeah, a simple news feed without an algorithm but with the option of filtering by popular stories of the day.
That’s cool. If this were my project, I’d be spending long days seeding comments myself under different usernames with different POVs, and trying to get a handful of legitimate thoughtful users on there. Not an impossible task, good luck!
