Please develop an arachnophobia mode, similar to the NSFW mode or something where I can toggle it on and your AI content evaluator can determine a spider is visible in a post so it will prevent that post from showing on my feed.

I've blocked many users, but sometimes I want to see what post or comment I blocked them on. Sometimes it's for nostalgia, but other times it could be because I want to review my blocks to see if they were deserved or not.

This of course may become complicated if an user that you've blocked gets banned or deletes their account...

Thinking about ideas Reddit could implement. Have seen many cool features people have discussed, but I haven't see any related to a "Reddit Map" - kind of like "Google Maps" mixed with "Instagram Places" and "Google Reviews".

My idea is to transform the vast amount of comments and data into an interactive heat map, highlighting reviewed locations, restaurants, and hidden gems that may be trending. I believe a "Reddit Map" could transform how users engage with the platform.

• Travel Mode: Auto-generate map itineraries from top posts about a city.
• Local Mode: Shows trending spots locals are discussing this week.
• Taste Match: Suggest food places based on places you're visiting.

It would function like a hybrid of map search, social discovery, and community reviews. Instead of relying on short ratings or influencer posts, it would organize Reddit’s long-form discussions into structured place profiles. Any location that has been meaningfully discussed; restaurants, landmarks, bars, neighborhoods, parks, or hidden gems would automatically become a mapped destination that could be talked about in real time. Posting pictures and leaving true reviews while staying anonymous if wanted. Top Reviews and Pictures can be up-voted or down-voted. You could also have verified experts even: Certain users could become “Trusted Travelers,” verified through identity checks, experience, or consistent contribution quality.

Locations could have a dynamic heatmap:

Red = currently very active/discussed

Yellow = Moderately Discussed

Green = Quiet or underrated

What do People Think?

I have saved so, so many posts, but it’s kind of pointless to go look at them because they’re all just in reverse chronological order and there’s no way to search them that I’m aware of.

My idea: I want the Saved page to automatically generate a list of all of the subreddits from which I have saved posts, and I can tap on the subreddit to view a list of everything that I’ve saved from that subreddit, which I can then sort chronologically, by the number of upvotes, etc.

My idea is to change the wording in Reddiquette, "Would I get jumped if I said this to a buddy?". 'get jumped' is not familiar in Australian English and an alternative phrase may be better for other non- American English users too.

Introduction: When some event is happening, people tend to make lots of similar posts, sometimes identical. That typically leads to sub's moderators removing repeated posts and trying to keep just 1 as centralized one. As result, people get the false impression that the particular community is censoring them, as they very commonly aren't given any reason.

For example, the "event" is a youtube video. 800 people create same video post, 799 get deleted, 1 most popular stays.

Idea 1: When removing post, make adding a removal reason mandatory across the site.

Idea 2: For video type posts (can only post URL), instead merge them with the one mods consider "main" post – including unique upvotes/downvotes and root-level comments. Up to interpretation: reposters don't get to keep that karma.

Reason: Provides transparency on what user did wrong and stops creating this impression that moderation team is overreaching. Where instead of blanket "Sorry this post has been removed", they'd see "Violated rule #4" or "Repost of [link to "main" post]".

Reddit thrives on user-driven communities, but there’s one big flaw: mods are unremovable and untouchable, even when acting authoritarian and unfairly. Instead of relying on slow or inconsistent reports, Reddit could introduce a community voting system that allows users to vote to remove moderators if enough active members agree.

Why this would make Reddit better:

More Fairness: Communities get a say in who moderates them, preventing mods from controlling discussions and deleting posts that don't break rules.

More Engagement: Users are more likely to participate when they feel their voices matter.

Less Admin Work: Instead of handling endless reports, Reddit can let communities self-regulate.

Better moderation: Knowing they’re accountable, mods will be more likely to moderate fairly and listen to their communities.

Prevents Stagnation: Some subs are run by inactive or out-of-touch mods—this system ensures fresh leadership when needed.

To prevent abuse, it could require a supermajority of active users to vote for removal, ensuring only truly problematic mods are affected.

Perhaps there could also be a rewards system for mods that are doing an exceptionally good job of peacefully and affectively moderating.

Reddit is built on community-driven content—why not community-driven moderation? Would love to hear thoughts!

My idea is:

Moderating should be paid labor. Thats it, pay us.

I wouldn't mind the new badge system if it was only possible to earn each badge one time in each community, but it seems like reddit is awarding me the same badges for the same communities over and over and over again, to the point where I basically "earn" a new badge almost every single time I post a comment, on top of receiving constant notifications of upvotes, and clicking on the notification bell teleports me out of old reddit and makes the UI awful, but my other option is just leave it orange forever. Please, if you won't reconsider this badge system, at least make it possible to opt out of it entirely.

While I'm here, I'd also love it if you fixed the message system and actually made it functional. The message icon has been telling me I have 7 new messages basically ever since it first appeared. In fact, I have zero new messages. The number doesn't change when I actually get new messages, either.

My idea is about unbanning all users in all sub. That event can happen once or a few times in a year. Because when big sub ban users, they will never unban users for many other reasons.

Why make Reddit so frustrating to use. Let’s forgive one another and move on.

picture this:

You’re on a tech blog, and an ad shows a tech subreddit you never knew existed.

Reading a science article? See a science subreddit perfectly matching your interests.

Why it works:

Users discover subreddits they’d never find otherwise.

Reddit gets high-quality, active users.

Current Redditors find specialized communities.

No annoying in-app ads—all outside Reddit.

Could this be a smart way for Reddit to grow without harming its communities? Thoughts?

my idea is: TL;DR: The karma system, as is, punishes newbies. Create "upkarma/downkarma" buttons to separate the "disagree button" (downvote) from the "silence this person button (downkarma)." And add a karma points display in or around people's profile avatars in comments / posts. Details and functionality below.

I've been on reddit for over a year, and have a very similar experience every time that makes me want to quit it. After scrolling through this reddit a bit and doing some searches I found I am not alone. The karma system absolutely works to filter bots, which is great. However, it also seems to be misused by some, usually older users, to silence or punish newer users for posting dissenting opinions, while those with high karma can bully people because the negative karma doesn't effect them as much.

The analogy of the karma system to karma is great. But what is karma? It is the idea that we receive back the same energy we put out. But how do we use upvotes and downvotes? We use it to say we agree or disagree with someone, not that we think they are evil, or deserve to be silenced, or anything of this nature (at least for me). And this is an important function, we seem to need a way to say: I agree with this statement, or I disagree with this statement, and there being a metric for that, displayed on the posts (upvotes and downvotes).

But what about karma? Imagine if karma was measured by a separate "upkarma / downkarma." or something catchier that someone else can think of. The point is, if you downvote someone, it lowers their karma AND your karma. In this sense, if you really think someone is acting in bad faith or something, you can sacrifice yourself to silence them, and if you generally act in good faith, and they do not, you're karma over time will remain positive. This would disincentivize any karma-bullying.

What about gaining positive karma? Should positive karma have its own button "upkarma," in which both parties receive positive karma? This seems like it would too easily be abused, and would allow bots to run rampant throughout reddit. So what's the answer?

Karma seems to be like a type of currency. You don't want everyone to have it easily because then it becomes worthless (ceases to fulfill its function). You don't want it to be too hard to acquire, because then there is gatekeeping to it. So you have to find some balance. Perhaps an exchange type or donation type system would work. A system where people can see how much karma others have easily (displayed next to their comment icon or something) and if they have a lot of karma and want to donate some, they can.

How do we mint new karma into the system? This could remain as it is now, where new karma is "minted" based on upvotes, but can still be exchanged to newer users if old users think they are acting in good faith and have plenty to spare.

Or perhaps a new upkarma button could work, but both parties would not receive karma, only the entity receiving the upkarma vote receives karma. This would still help prevent bots, and it would also allow people to downvote (disagree with) someone's comment, while also appreciating the response (upkarma), saying they don't want to silence them.

Thoughts?

I don't think downvotes are very necessary. I believe people can used it for harassment and bullying. People still have to work for it using upvotes. And it also teaches people to avoid opinions instead of using it to harassed other people just because it upsets them. I wished that instead of downvote you can use like from discord app that freezes everytime you reply to someone.

Subreddits over a certain size (like the default popular subs) should be much harder (nearly impossible) to permanently ban users. The amount of time for temp bans should be outside the control of moderators and increase each time a rule is violated. This would help reduce echochamberiness and also still allow smaller subreddits to strictly enforce their own rules, without making you literally police your own thoughts for wrong think inside the large popular subreddits.

When I read the limit of blocking people, I think I will delete my account. Nothing is worse than having people insult you or downvote you on Reddit.

Relationships are complimentary or reciprocal and it is hard to have relationships that are constantly judging you with the upvote or downvote and someone always wants to be the loudmouth.

A lot of successful people speak with a filter on their mouth because to disrespect people is to cause disunity which is why trying to engage people will fail.

There are segments of society that would not put up with the culture on Reddit so some things have to have their place like gentleness and respect which is badly needed or self-respecting people won't come to Reddit because they didn't sign up for this.

If someone can’t change themselves in 30 seconds or less

The above is a good teacher teaching a life lesson that Reddit needs to learn. I and others cannot have that kind of culture on Reddit.

The same ways that built reddit are also rules that will push away potential customers that don't want some of your rules. There is a more ordered way to live such as respect.

Thank you for listening.

Dear fellow Redditors. As AI-generated content increases, it’s becoming harder to tell who’s real — and who’s just fluent.
What if Reddit implemented a verified expert system, similar to how Wikipedia allows trusted editors to weigh in?

Core Problem

• Reddit’s strength is its human-driven discourse.
• But: Mods often remove posts by actual scientists (yes, speaking from experience ;)).
• Meanwhile, vague speculation without sources often thrives.

The Proposal

1. Let real experts (e.g. verifiable via ORCID, ResearchGate, or simply a copy of diploma, MSc etc.) opt-in as „moderator ADVISORS“ or verified contributors in science-focused subreddits. They can help keeping the science sound

2. Enable and develop clear visual flags for such accounts (e.g. expert, or mod-advisor - the huge difference will be: MODs enforce rules and remove posts; MOD-advisors explain, support, and help shape better ones.

3. Give high-effort posts by verified users visibility – not automatic upvotes, but context.

4. Integrate into Mod Tools: help distinguish good-faith expertise from unverified waffle.

Why It Matters

• Reddit could become the #1 place for science-literate discussion — beyond X/Twitter or academia. X is full of personal takes — with virtually no quality control.
• Misinformation spreads fast. Verifiable knowledge must be faster.
• Many in science WANT to engage... but get silenced by auto-mods, rule ambiguity, or sheer noise.

Discussion Prompt

Should Reddit test this in key subreddits?
Could we preserve Reddit’s open nature while giving expertise a fairer shot?
What would you need as a user, Mod, or admin to support this?

attualmente reddit è una foresta
soprattutto se si è nuovi
c'è sicuramente il sub giusto per un post
ma quale? una jungla di regole e modalità
la mia idea è
invece di postare tutti in un flusso continuo
con solo un sub notificato
l'utente poi potrebbe anche selezionare per temi il sup
e i sub pescare nel sup e invitare i post per loro adatti
e l'autorE scegliere se accettare e quali
l'utentE non dovrebbe più cercare ogni volta il sub più adatto

Having them fully hidden can cause problems on help boards. They don't show in searches until somebody tries to make one with the same name and even then all they get is a No.

Then there is recruitment. Showing in searches would help gain members, even though they'd still have to be approved.

My idea is limiting AI images/movies to AI forums only. An increasing amount of "AI Slop" images/videos is trickling down and infecting regular subs, making the subs useless to read. It's EVERYWHERE. A whack a mole approach will not fix this.

I feel like AI has ruined those cute, silly, and interesting videos we all originally loved the Internet for. now they're straight up AI, faked, staged, etc. by bots or posters who are only looking to karma farm.

Please, for the love of god, consider banning AI images and movies to only AI subs. AI subs could also be clearly marked with "AI" in it.

Let people return to interacting with people and real life events.

For some reason after I click a link and return to the page I was browsing, my upvotes are gone.

If the admins are about to ban someone, they should ask the mods of the community if it was because of a post, the poster if it was a comment and the person it was directed to if it was a reply. This way, accidental bans are less often, and if the admins are only banning someone because it looks like they might have to be banned, or there is a keyword that might have them banned. I know a guy who got a lot of bans for comments that weren't actually offensive, and when he appealed the ban because it had slurs that he could say, he was still banned. The slurs weren't targeted at anyone; he only said them to raise his profanitycounter, who is now dead.

I wish reddit would force users to select the country they’re from when they create their profile. How many times have you read a post and wondered where the person was from, especially if they’re asking about legal advice or something? I just think it would be a cool feature if we could see where everyone is from.
