I don't think you'd want the reddit subs you miss to migrate into kia2.win either.

Wrong, cuz I do.

Once new subs (or wins, whatever we're calling them) are allowed to be created without a nagging campaign,

Yes, that is a problem that the network needs to sort out, and quickly. In a sense it's unfortunate that they went live without solving it, but agile development, whatchagonna do.

I can start considering getting some of the good reddit subs to migrate.

The thing about agile development is that it is in some ways most responsive to pain. If the admins were constantly being hammered with more nagging campaigns (as they should be) there would be more pressure on them to solve the self-serve create your own community problem.

People looking for a replacement for reddit look at ruqqus (and before that, voat) and think "wow, that's basically what wanted, except it's dead". Yeah. Because they put delivering the functionality ahead of delivering to a community first. Network effect isn't fueled by having the best software, it's fueled by having the most people. This is why .win stands a chance of succeeding where ruqqus and voat failed, because we have dense and growing communities, and it's just the software that's shit.

You can go a long way on shit software if you have a strong community (see EVE Online).
