I'm not even talking about the legality of mirroring another site. You really want to give ammo to the CEO of reddit and allow him to claim that his competitors are attempting to mirror his content?? Can you imagine how he is going to use this if you do it?
Just post your own content, if you have a real interest into MMA then it should be easy.
We have to recreate the environment and communities we've created on on Reddit here, so that people don't feel like they're missing out being on kbin.
The "fear of missing out" is something you should not listen to. Do not replicate the content of reddit, why would you do that? Just create your own content. If it's news then read your sources and post the news.
We, like many other magazines here, will need a way to quickly aggregate breaking news onto our magazine
Well, post something if you find it interesting. And let other people post what they think is interesting. You don't need no machinery for that. We want quality content, not the quantity delivered by a spambot machine, which in the ends are adbots, posting advertised stuff like the endless NBA stuff. If you read nothing interesting in the news then post nothing in your subs.
We must not duplicate what reddit did wrong. And the 3rd party tool is not the only thing that reddit did wrong. What reddit did wrong is content for the sake of content, for the thumb constantly swiping down. This is not good for reddit and this is not good for kbin. This is good for no one.
The quality and content of reddit collapsed, do not duplicate it here.
We want the creators, not the followers. Do not listen to the followers who are addicted to new content. I don't want people just watching the endless ribbon of news, posting a "lol" or a one liner from time to time. Are you sure that you are not the one who fears of missing out? Are you dependent on popularity or somethin'? Because it surely looks like so.
What next? You want to mirror publicfreakout so we again watch american people fight into airplanes and governors banning books on the other side of the planet? Because this is what you're gonna get.
edit: And we didn't even talk about the COST of handling automated, mirrored content. If reddit cannot pay for it then neither can Ernest.
edit: If all of you who upvoted OP instead posted something they find interesting in the subs they follow then we would not have this discussion.
