I hate the way Redditors talk.

They’re all trash.
broad generalizations are usually always wrong

reddit definitely has it's purpose, even for someone like me who usually doesn't see the appeal to websites like that

I had a question about something while playing an old rune factory game. I made a post and got a response in under 3 minutes.

I also sometimes visit the Shudder subreddit for recommendations on stuff to watch and updates.

I visit it maybe twice a month, but I've found it useful when I do go on.

That's so badass and helpful, my dude. I'll try to make use of these in the next thread about Brie Larson.
It has been done, and it was not welcome.

Y’all - fuck me, it makes me want to kill myself.

Reddit was ok before they realised they could make a shit load of money and accepted Chinese investment. Actively curating the front page to suit their own political agenda instead of it being based on user upvotes.

All of the UK subs are self-loathing apart from the Scottish one which is basically a hate sub dedicated to England.

Stay away.
I can't help but go to them though.

But seriously, if you only saw that as news, you'd think the world was about to end. And some of the people who post there really do need to take along hard look at themselves.

Masterful.
I am but a lowly amateur against this overload of pure and unadultered excellence.

It's all there...
I am literally shaking rn
Oooof
have got a lot to unpack
Yikes!
...

All intertwined in one self-contained, coherent piece.
A work of art.

Thank you!
 
You think reddit is bad, just try visiting SomethingAwful. It's like the smellier, fatter, proto-reddit with even more men who think they're women and undeserved smug sense of superiority. Except it's so bad that it caused the site owner to shoot himself.

There ARE good Reddit subs, they're just banning more and more all the time.

/r/politicalcompassmemes is one of the last internet bastions of people with different political outlooks that can take a fucking joke.

Unless you're in very targeted sub like a band/game/topic etc it's pretty pointless to just browse endlessly.

Other than the repost/cross-post spam, karma farms, and constant posting in subs where a post doesn’t belong but still gets upvoted because people are dumb as fuck, the worse thing about Reddit is the same old tired shit in the comments.

Someone writes a comment, then there’s a reply that is just a link to a subreddit. Not in a useful way, they just want to be included in screenshots. Dozens of Reddits devoted to screenshots of Reddit comments. The worst of them all is “inclusive or”, because it’s a double team of the same tired joke predictably followed by the subreddit link.

>Is it A or B?
>>Yes
>>>r/inclusiveor

Million upvotes, no actual answer to the question. The only time I like a link as a reply is r/yourjokebutworse, because it calls out the commenters that ruin the joke.

There are some useful communities, but they tend to be the niche communities that are a little more educational.

If you follow r/science, make sure you’re using desktop Reddit with Reddit Enhancement Suite and you block the Social Science tag. Some nonsense survey is not science, it’s politics that varies from thinly veiled to not even bothering to mask it. If you ask for alternative science Reddits, the replies get removed.

Everything devolves into politics there. You can see a cute photo of a bunny and not 2 scrolls down into the comments and you'll see someone bring up Trump and how he caused the great carrot famine.

Reddit was nice when it started, but I can’t imagine going there again. At least you can count on 4chan :messenger_grinning_smiling:
