For anyone interested in this idea from a cultural perspective, we are trying this as a subreddit here:
There are over 100 subscribers who have joined in the past day. If we start to need a technical assist to the cultural norms, we may create a reddit bot, or possibly move to discourse (but that would be a tough sell now that it’s on Reddit). I don’t know exactly how this experiment will turn out, but I look forward to finding out.
