# @antirez: building a Hacker News replacement with 10-20 moderators and karma

Source: https://x.com/antirez/status/2044773715846500531?s=12

In the next months I'll provide you with a Hacker News replacement that I'll run myself and I'll guarantee personally: no benefit for whatsoever individual, a team of 10/20 persons since the start, from different time zones, clear rules, total transparency, and a "karma" system. I really want to fix HN and provide something that is not bound to a specific company.

**timdaub.eth**: Why is this such a popular tweet? What happened?

**mishaderidder.eth**: This is a direct shot at HN's opaque, centralized, YC-controlled structure. I think the author has a lot credibility, that’s why it’s taken seriously. 

YC has financial interests in many of the companies and topics being discussed and there’s a single moderator team with no accountability. 

Anyway no need to build it, it’s already there 🥝✨ come to Kiwi :) 

**timdaub.eth**: Yeah I learned after submitting that the tweet author is the creator of redis, so that‘s why he‘s got that much attention probably
