and to compare this, with /r/Bitcoin splits and even various state and city splits. This solution does the split seemlessly with no lost content. The split happens at the relay level .. People want moderation, nobody wants to have everyone to have to view some dickpick spam to decide if it's related to /r/Buttcoin or not. See what I mean? 10,000 people viewing and and blocking it individually, vs a mod team delegated to do that. It's opt-in, with no being trapped like you are on a platform. This is what made IRC and then reddit work, is moderation and this is the least platformish way you could possibly do it imho.. (better than those).
