Fired Reddit Exec Launches Competing Site (thenextweb.com)

An anonymous reader writes: "Dan McComas, the former second-in-command at Reddit -- and vocal critic of its more inflammatory groups -- wants to build a better Reddit, one that focuses on 'healthy, positive communities,'" reports TheNextWeb. Raising $3 million, Imzy.com quietly launched earlier this year with over 500 discussion forums, aspiring to become an advertising-free space where content creators can interact with their fans. Moderators and users of Imzy can be "tipped" with online payments from other users, while the site hopes to remain advertising-free by taking a cut from on-site transactions. But "at its core though, Imzy wants to provide a safe place to share and discuss without the fear of being harassed, a problem Reddit has struggled with for several years."

Sorry, the real problem is the unbelievable hypocrisy and demands from the perpetual whiners when they want something and decide to invade someone else's places

Trouble is that people like you seem to believe the entire world is your space, because when someone creates a new place (what this thread is about), people like you start whining horribly like someone has stolen something from you.

Indeed, so when someone actually starts using their free speech and freedom of assosciation, the perpetual whiners like you are all over it because apparently they used their freedoms wrong and that makes you sad and cross.
