Instagram, too, is building AI to better monitor cyber bullying. Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey has promised to create a more “healthy dialogue” on his site. Reddit isn’t alone in their effort to promote a nicer internet.
“What we’re most excited about with this feature set is the potential of elevating the conversation and making it healthier, and strengthening the relationships between users and mods,” he wrote on Reddit’s blog. But Sathyamoorthy has hopes community awards will also foster a “healthier” digital environment.they expect the badges to boost community morale. Reddit product manager Vin Sathyamoorthy says it’s not all about niceties - the move helps them bring in revenue without selling ad space. The awards will soon be widely available throughout subreddits - with the exception of NSFW content. There’s no reward for purchasing or receiving an award, but 20% of funds collected from the purchases will go toward paying moderators for their help managing the community.Īwards will be unique to the specific community and designed by moderators who are encouraged to brainstorm with the subreddit’s members for ideas. The awards will cost anywhere between 300 and 40,000 coins - the equivalent of about $100. Here’s how it’ll work: Users in the group can purchase individual awards with Reddit Coins - the site’s in-app currency, paid for with actual money.
The crafty enterprise received more than 500 of these badges. Take one post in r/DunderMifflin - in which a user edited a scene so that a character, Deangelo Vickers, played by Will Ferrell, is juggling. The awards have already been a hit with the DunderMifflin group.
The site test ran the concept on its r/DunderMifflin subreddit, which floated honors such as the Dundie Award, Schrute Buck, Stanley Nickel and The “Classic” Award Award - all inside jokes taken from cult favorite NBC series “The Office.” Social networking and news aggregator Reddit knows this, which is why its creators recently launched “community awards,” which users can dole out to any post they deem worthy. These days, folks need a merit badge for good behavior.
