reddidit

Reddidit is a fictional online community and content-sharing platform created to illustrate the operation of user-generated content sites. Content is organized into communities called reddits, each focused on a specific topic, with subjects ranging from science to arts.

Users create accounts, submit posts (text, links, images, polls), and participate in discussions through comments. Posts and comments are voted on with upvotes and downvotes, shaping visibility. The site uses a ranking system with sections like hot, new, and top to surface content.

Moderation is carried out at the community level by moderators who enforce rules, while site administrators oversee overall policy. Users can report violations; automated filters and moderation tools help manage spam, harassment, and misinformation, with options to remove content or suspend users.

A reputation system, such as karma, reflects a user’s history of community voting. Some reddits offer awards or badges to recognize helpful contributions. Features may include cross-posting, nested comments, spoiler formatting, and privacy controls. Accessibility and inclusive guidelines are emphasized in policy.

Reddidit exists as a hypothetical example used in discussions of online communities and platform design. It has no real-world implementation, but its described mechanics mirror common elements on real platforms and are used to explore governance, moderation, and user engagement issues.
