&gt;At some point, I hope we just sit down and try to maintain the community we&#x27;ve got (turning it into a society), rather than thinking that rebuilding it with slightly different rules but the same microcosm of people will help.<p>I think this is accomplished with the ability to create new Subreddits. To my mind, the best way to separate the nasty parts of Reddit with the profitable ones is heavy moderation for the defaults, free reign for the non-defaults, and charge money for access to private subreddits. If a particular subreddit draws too much controversy, force it private.
