I have been thinking it would be cool to have a Reddit replacement ran by a non profit, similar to Wikipedia. Does anyone here have experience running something like that? I understand non profits are very complex to run.
I thought about this for my project, but decided against it, primarily due to associated complexity. Although I hear there are other business types being created that might be more suitable for websites.
Personally, I don't think profits are bad. But I think being profit driven is. I also think a company can serve a public role and not have to be a non-profit to do it.
