Reddit Hate Thread

...

Pretty much any sub related to the "main" ones is untouchable and infected with oversensitive babby liberalism that motivates these people to be e-thugs to begin with. They literally only care insofar as they want to prevent people from expressing non-liberal opinions.

The site is a piece of shit in general, and not the fun kind like with chans. Designed from the ground up to encourage circlejerking instead of meaningful discussion. Only useful when discussing niche things that arent worth signing up for a forum, i.e. a specific video game.

Lel when does that ever happen on chans?

At least here we can embrace it instead of pretending otherwise.

The problem with Reddit and the problem with Digg before it and other such sites is the format. I hate up voting/down voting systems for content and discussion. Usually who ever can make the quippiest statement or the thing that most succinctly states the most generic mundane "wisdom" gets upvoted and other content regardless of it's substance is killed quick. Democracy can work, but not with art or information sharing.

The problem with Reddit aside from it's format is it's community of normie inoffensive starbuicks coffee liking babies who lapp up any corporate shit and clap at giving a diverse human face to capitalism's worst offenses. From music, to film to video games or any art, they only like the most obvious pretested "classics" and give no thought to anything really new or unadvertised.

We should have one of these threads every week.

>the slur was dumb

we do

What if leddit supported anonymous posting? Slashdot is near the start of leddit's ancestry, yet outlived all of them and still produces superior discussion, in spite of an otherwise identical format.

I thought they did, maybe I'm wrong in thinking so. I don't know about Slashdot, but I cant seeing it helping Reddits problems much, because the voting would still be the biggest problem.

I'd like to imagine what a conversation would be like in real life with upvoting and down voting. I'd be like having a test audience for everything you say in real time. Only it would grind down your soul and make you the most generic person possible only after a short while because your opinions would be formulated for positive upvote responses in the same way opinions are formed in the Keynes Beauty Pageant thought experiment.

Just about every leftist sub is terrible, though I have had really great discussions on /r/capitalismvsocialism and /r/askphilosophy before.

I don't post on Reddit so I wouldn't know, I'm talking content only.

You know the funniest thing about that image is I cant tell if it was supposed to be Trump or Hillary right off the bat and that is the last year in a nutshell. Filename of course.

Reddit doesn't support anonymous posting. In fact, it has specific rules against pseudonymous posting, referred to there as "sockpuppeting" and "ban evasion".

lsc would be good if it weren't for the liberal cancer

It depends.
The scientific or serious subreddits are way better than the chan boards about tech/programming or science for example.
The upvoting system allows there for the most knowledgeable people to be given more visibility than someone posting ignorant shit or stupid memes.
It works even with /r/worldnews, where people have concerns about information sources and their credibility. Or the subreddit of my country, where people have more interesting and balanced political opinions on average than on the cesspool of Holla Forumsyps that is 4/int/.

But when it comes to music, yes, you won't discover anything.
If you post Pink Floyd, you will get upvoted and someone will tell you about their dad who smoked weed while listening to Animals or whatever. Same with Radiohead, and other safe artists everyone like.
But if you share something weirder, like James Ferraro or Elysia Crampton, nobody will care. They won't be able to make shitty puns for karma about that.

It's an interesting phenomenon, and personally I go to chans or reddit according to the quality of the different options.

I've heard that about the science boards and admittedly I wouldn't know even if i did go browse it heavily as it's not an area of expertise for me. The "tech boards" I went to weren't better than /g/ in my opinion, but maybe we want different things out of that.

What I can tell you about with some certainty is that the philosophy boards are horrible and not just the main one, even the more distinct subreddits. You basically see all the same shit you see in every other part of reddit.

and sho on and sho on. You get the point.

I think the chans have other problems, but to me they're more interesting problems at least. Like it seems people cling to their perceived identities even more when they're forced to be anonymous. OK I'm starting to go full pseud time to pack it in.

r/leftcommunism and r/communists are okay.

we have this thread every day comrade

A lot of soc dems, most don't know it though. They are one of the only places on that website I've seen that is against IdPol, against liberalism and tribalism.

If you are looking for a place to spread you message and gain converts, that is the place to do it. Most are open to leftism, most just need a green pill.

...

Are there any subreddits that are actually leftist and not COINTELPRO?

r/leftwithoutedge?

hmmm
