Why does 4chan hates reddit so much? Sure 99% of the site is garbage but there's some good stuff in there once in a while (just like 4chan come to think of it). You can't even mention reddit without 5 posters telling you to "go back", it's really annoying. For the record I've been on 4chan since 2009 and only really started browsing reddit about 3 years ago, and don't even have an account. But I'm of the opinion you should enjoy good content no matter where it comes from. If some gay SJW with pink hair cured cancer, I would be thankful for it even if he's a retard. What is wizchan's optinion of reddit?
Most of the posters there are annoying smartass normalfags, if you post anything that goes against the 'hivemind' you will get a smug reply from some asshole and be downvoted to oblivion. Sure, it's nice when you're searching google and you find some helpful posts on a reddit thread, but if you actually post and/or browse there it is fucking awful. The most normalfag clickbait stupid shit that appeals to succubi or the most recent meme gets voted to the top of any sub, and then everything else is mostly just ignored, maybe you'll get a reply or two, but that's it.
>>182309 there's some obscure shit that you can only find there though. Like r/georgism where people discuss land value taxes, where the fuck would I find something like that on another forum/site? Sure Georgism sometimes pop up on /biz/ once in a while when they're discussing landlords, but I go to the reddit sub about twice a week to find new info on this niche subject. Just avoid the popular subs that all normalfags go.
>>182309 what's annoying is most of the time I get a reddit result at the top of a google search for a problem I have, the reddit thread is full of snarky non-answers almost every single time. fucking hate those fags.
>>182312 Just looked up Georgism. Pretty interesting, although I will always oppose land tax. >>182307 Reddit is a receptacle for popular opinions and tripe. There's no reason to be there unless you're too lazy to find something out on your own(eg read a book) or you're a raging norman. Even its supposed benefit of highly specialized discussion boards become circlejerks where any person who questions the narrative of a given board is downvoted or outright banned. No-one really goes there to learn anyway, just to reinforce their pre-conceived notions.
>>182333 Possibly on account of "the good subreddits" constantly being banned from the site by its pedophile administrative staff for "hate speech" and similar normie tripe.
I don't post but I follow reddit since 2011. I personally don't understand reddit=left, 4chinz=right that much. Yes there are some places where mods are absolute leftists but right also dominate some peculiar places. Especially after many "right wing" subs banned, many of the said mods started to infiltrate neutral/left oriented places and made their way into the mod team. Mod organization is not democratic at all. If you have just one guy inside you can more or less start to make all the people that think alike mods and began to dominate the sub. A great example is /r/europe where right wing mods who come from banned right wing subreddits (And I don't mean conservatives, I mean people with stormfront accounts, neo-nazis etc) absolutely dominate. Any post that indicate some mods history on stormfront or how they sperged against jews and homosexuals is deleted immediately, the meta discussions locked with a "no one is a nazi here" post(they got smarter). The only remnants I manage do find were from a subreddit that collected mods activity circa 2016-2017. And 5 years has passes since then.
I found out, It really takes few guys to influence internet. Many "forced" memes are only forced by one or two individuals. It really makes you think.
It's very bad but it's less heavily censored than wizchan at least. There are no good options anymore, the internet has fallen rapidly. Most quality discussion has moved to private areas like closed groups on 'instant messaging' platforms like telegram and discord, which obviously has its own problems with cliques and accessibility
It's 99% shit and has some occasionally alright stuff if you look hard enough - Just like literally every other website on the internet.
I have the exact same opinion of twitter, and 4chan, this place and every other imageboard. Reddit isn't uniquely shit, social media on the whole is shit.
One feature I like with reddit is that if a post gets too many replies or something, I don't really know how it works, it'll split off into a new thread, it's a really nice passive way to deal with off-topic posts, whereas on chans it's easy for some retard to create some very tangentially related post and derail the entire thread
I hate reddit. For one it's unbrowseable. The layout is a mix of Tumblr and Myspace but looks like a WordPress page. Discussions are impossible to have because no one wants to scroll through a bunch of deleted and removed user replies. All you are left with is the top 2 and 3 comments. Even smaller reddits fall to the overall hivemind of Reddit and follow the same commenting format. Your opinion will simply drown by someone trying to get upvotes. This system makes it so the "best" Reddit posts are just regurgitating what the MSM and Jews want to hear.
>>182339 You sound like a giga kike to sperg out so hard about "Nazis" so hard, especially as you mutts call everyone who doesn't suck jew dick 24/7 a Nazi.
>>182362 Only insofar as things like Wikipedia. Looking up anything remotely controversial will only give you the most surface level normalfag perspective. But sometimes that’s all you need.
I only use it when there’s a specific game I want to talk about cause god knows I can’t use /vg/, and there’s not enough activity here. And fuck joining some discord.
>>182350 >>182350 I'm on left but I much prefer 3rd positionists than many liberals or good old fox news watching boomer cosnervatives. That is not the point. And for the record I am totally against banning extreme left/right wing dialogue in anywhere. What gets me is the mods slimey attitude. Its just that I much prefer people who openly admit they are communists, neo nazis etc. Latestagecapitalism for example is unapologetically right wing, and many "banned" right wing subreddits were the same.
They hide what they truly believe, they spout all kinds of shit on their private channels but try to present themselves something they are not out to public. funny you said "kike" because this is exactly what you guys would call as "kikery". You know, happy merchant who wears a mask. But guess its okay when its your guys who are doing it, oh well.
>>182373 >They By they I mean specific mods etc of r/europe. It is really an achievement they manage to fly under the radar this much, but they also learned their lesson. They stopped shitting on homosexuals, jews and start to attack types of people that is okay'ed by liberal reddit admins, Russians etc.
>>182307 I used to very much enjoy the neet subreddit. I was a nice haven where everyone was black pilled and not being normal was accepted and welcomed. Eventually normies started flooding the subreddit, particularly when Covid hit which was the death bell: all these normies suddenly out of work started flooding to the neet subreddit, bringing their normie ideals with them. The original neets were downvoted for suggesting things like antinatalism, or antiwork ideas. That was the death of it. Now it's just out of work normies and depressed normies.
>>182381 >neet subreddit used to be good no, it was always trash. There's succubi there and normalfags too wanting to feel special because they don't work or saw neet term used in some anime. I've exchanged messages with some of them, succubi, normalfags, etc. the worst were some chads that don't work because their gfs work for them and they can stay at home smoking weed and creating music in fl studio.
>>182382 >>182387 I can confirm, my sister has housed tons of deadbeats who just mooch off her and play videogames and smoke weed all day, it is sort of funny, I imagine the females that end up like this are like the female version of crabs, they can't find a partner so they just pick up any loser that shows interest in them even if they are a leech
I had a pretty good screencap showcasing a lot of reddit problems. Chains of [deleted] replies, people jumping on EVERY opportunity to reference something, and drive a joke into the ground, most subs end up an echochamber where everything starting from website's design is meant to push out opinions slightly differing from the norm. It's a horrible site for actually discussing stuff, esepcially if you're not 100% positive all the time.
Early reddit used to about finding good outside content and bringing it all together in a constant stream of stuff you liked. Back then Reddit used to steal content from 4chan and post it, the same way 9gag and ebaumsworld did. Anons hated this and hated reddit for stealing their content and reposting it like it was their own. This is now irrelevant because both websites are downstream from twitter screencaps for some reason.
Reasons to hate modern reddit are infinite. It's extremely left wing and censorship happy. It's latest admin was a tranny pedophile with a father in prison for torturing a little succubus for sexual pleasure. The tranny put his father in positions of political power and in charge of LGBTFAGGOT children charities. When all this came out Reddit ran a mass censorship campaign on all of it and defended the child molesting freak until the userbase revolted so hard they… stayed on reddit and were fine with the website once he was fired.
Reddit is filled with fucked up leftist stalkers who post CP on any subreddit they don't like then immediately report it to get the sub closed down. These groups are often friends with the site admins, you get the idea.
Reddit is also full of bots and the upvote system is a myth. They can change upvotes at will and will promote paid for posts etc. When the system "does" work it doesn't work because it's naturally a race to the most autistic. One retard can dominate how a subreddit leans. If they upvote/downvote (on multiple accounts even) posts they will encourage or discourage people from posting. This results in people leaving as they get downvoted over and over, self radicializing the subreddit in the direction of the worst people there.
>>182400 >Reddit is filled with fucked up leftist stalkers who post CP on any subreddit they don't like then immediately report it to get the sub closed down. These groups are often friends with the site admins, you get the idea.
Reddit is also full of bots and the upvote system is a myth. They can change upvotes at will and will promote paid for posts etc this is getting a bit schizo tier dont you think
>>182403 when the Super straight meme took off they had to make it so every post submitted was approved by mods because r/againsthatesubs was raiding it with CP trying to get it banned. It's well known they do it, they're the admins attack dogs. If you want more info go look up Reddit's thread on kiwifarms.
Upvote/downvote manipulation has been proven several times. Not hard to look it up.
I used to lurk plebbit back when people would regularly share invites to pts. Now they're all dead or based on secretive irc/shitcord servers so I don't bother to indulge in it.
>>182406 >when the Super straight meme took off they had to make it so every post submitted was approved by mods because r/againsthatesubs was raiding it with CP trying to get it banned. It's well known they do it, they're the admins attack dogs. If you want more info go look up Reddit's thread on kiwifarms. looked through the kiwifarms thread and there was no proof whatsoever. give source for second statement.
>>182420 >source Want pictures of CP? Trannies admitting to distributing CP? Like hell you're getting those. You think the only other party involved isn't credible so you can't get a source.
>>182330 That's not saying much as they are basically one and the same nowadays except on one you can say "nigger". >>182342 >it's less heavily censored than wizchan at least It's all about WHAT is being censored. The censorship here is to protect the quality of the site with very clear rules that arent poltically motivated. >>182307 The key issue with reddit is that it's essentially the ultimate echo chamber. Say something you don't like, be prepared to have your overarching score counter at a permanent less than 0 restricting your access to a lot of subs. Say something people like and you'll be showered with positive numbers. Or just be female and do literally anything. There are countless examples of people posting art vs posting a succubus holding their art and the latter always gets multiple times more points. Subreddits like "unpopular opinion" have only opinions most of the site agree with but they're mildly controversial. I could go on but it goes way past "reddit bad lol". Genuinly an awful site filled with awful people
I live in a third world country,anytime I check my country's subreddit my hatred for reddit is reinforced. It's infuriating how these people manage to be so insurable yet so out of touch with reality.
>>182428 Third world redditors are always the most sheltered and western internet socialized. Always some idiots who think themselves superior to their fellow countrymen for knowing about some western issues and trends unapplicable to their own countries.
>>182307 I haven't been on 4chan since like 2012 but from what I understand it's a pretty normalfag site just like reddit. Also, I think you answered your own question with: >Sure 99% of the site is garbage but there's some good stuff in there once in a while I think the voting system means only groupthink is visible. Because of it's popularity, it's also a horribly manipulative website in terms of the sneaky advertisers that and marketers on it. High profile posts can be bought with votes from bots. I haven't used the official site/app in many years but that's meant to be full of awful dark patterns also. (use teddit.net)
However, because of it's sheer size you will undoubtedly find good small groups on it. I really like r/roguelikes. The place is full of proper roguelike devs and the community doesn't allow posts of roguelites which is exactly what I want. I don't have an account but I can at least see decent posts about roguelikes.
>>182428 I am also from a third world shithole and I decided to check mine out. They are a bunch of faggots holy shit. I am ashamed I am from thvesame country as them.
its more anonymous than cuckchan for trolling unironically, and you can actually see the effects of your actions with the profile feature unlike cuckchan
>>182621 Possibly because you only have to enter a captcha once (i.e. upon registration) for Plebbit, whereas niggertits requires a captcha to be entered upon every post made (and, therefore, more live human data being sent to joogle).
There's also the distinct possibility that that wiz was just trolling, but who knows [/s]
>>182621 because 4chan bans are annoying to get around, with reddit you can just make a new account in seconds to keep harrassing a target rather then getting no response/ a generic "cope" esque reply, redditors are normalfags too so its just funner all around
>>182628 i fuck with suicidal normies and whores who broke with their abusive boyfriends make them delete their shit or go on to later say in their subreddits how their mental illness is worse. its fucking funny and you're just too stupid to do it.
It doesn’t matter what website you use anymore. The web is too homogenous. I see posts here that reference Reddit and 4chan all the time. And if you go on 4chan you see screenshots of Twitter and Reddit. And if you go to Reddit you see screenshots of Twitter and 4chan. It’s all the same shit. Only difference seems to be the political slant. 4chan is right, Reddit is left wing.
>>182629 >its fucking funny and you're just too stupid to do it I think I'm just too intelligent to find being a pest funny, I assume you have some ulterior motive to it than actually thinking it's funny though, you're probably jealous of them
I use it for documentary recommendations, but it's very difficult to have any stimulating discussion on it. You are actively punished for having an opinion that goes against the group, mods remove every second thread for random reasons, and it's too easy to get banned for expressing non-popular opinions.
I've tried it out and I don't find it to be a good hub for discussion, but it can be a useful source of information for certain obscure topics.
It is awful, even with niche small sub-reddits. People who have more karma have their opinions valued more. Moderators. Celebs within the communities etc. Usernames and post histories are awful, it censors people and especially with the up/downvote system, it turns everything into a hivemind. Repeat after me:
>>182623 >>182625 You're an idiot. 4chan bans VPNs, it's one of the few websites online to do so. Reddit, Twitter and Facebook doesn't. 4chan is less anonymous because it forces you to use IPs attached to your device (mobile to ban evade still connects to your phone).
>>182635 4chans politics vary by board. /co/ is as left wing as reddit is, most boards are sliding left as leftist moderators take over and gook moot tries to make the side profitable outside of data mining.
>>182734 >You're an idiot. 4chan bans VPNs, it's one of the few websites online to do so. Reddit, Twitter and Facebook doesn't. 4chan is less anonymous because it forces you to use IPs attached to your device (mobile to ban evade still connects to your phone). True but 4chan is more private than wizchan if you want to post images or use meta - you cant buy a pass here, and there are not as many users, plus the size, embarrassing topic and suspiciousness of this site's unnecessary actions make it likely for your collated wizchan data to be used maliciously
>>182734 >/co/ is as left wing as reddit is Maybe sexually (although they've also taken a liking to the word "degenerate" in recent years), but politically? /co/ used to be my go-to board back in my 4chan days, but now it seems every hobbyist board that isn't /toy/ is filled to the brim with irony poisoned "cope cringe based" spam.
>>182689 Are you saying 4chan isn't a hivemind? They don't have karma, but threads with unpopular opinions still can be ignored. /pol/ for instance is just a bunch of people with pretty much the same views endlessly calling each other "based" and btfo'ing le midwits.
I usually browse the same few subreddits that match my interests. I dont give a shit about participating or the community or whatever, I am there for my own amusement.
>>183074 >/pol/ for instance is just a bunch of people with pretty much the same views endlessly calling each other "based" and btfo'ing le midwits. This is completely not true, you obviously just hate /pol/.
>>183074 The problem with 4chan is that everyone there suck off the mods and ask for more rules/ban shit/opinions they don't like, this is for both sides of any spectrum. Freedom of speech should be upheld to the fullest extent. Plus it's full of normalfags anyway; some boards there are absolute twitter-tier SJW faggotry.
>>182307 I've never been to reddit before in my life, but I've toured it a few times. It doesn't appeal to me, they all seem like massive normalfaggots. I've never used any social media before.
Reddit is designed so that posts people agree with will be put to the top and posts people disagree with are hidden.
To make it worse, in many subreddits you can't reply to everyone commenting on your post due to timers. It just means you're getting dogpiled and can't respond to it.
In summary it's basically everything wrong with the real world amplified. It takes away everything fun about the internet and makes it into a censored mess of groupthink. This wouldn't be as big of an issue if the subreddits worked as intended but there's kind of a metagame being played with activists shutting down even the most benign subs if they become aware of them.
A good example of this was the "Sword and Scale" podcast subreddit. Somehow some discord trannies got pissed off at the podcaster and became admins of the sub, deleted any post talking about the podcast genuinely, and just allowed posts saying the podcaster was shit, etc.
I have now been using Reddit 3+ weeks because it’s the only remotely interesting website I can use on my work’s internet. And holy fucking shit, or really is just left wing 4chan. They use the same shitty wojak memes, they do the same slimy political bait, it’s the same goosestepping hivemind.
The only thing it really has going for it is the fun of seeing people’s post histories. My god there’s some really broken people on Reddit.
>>182307 It used to be because they were sheep and also censored mavericks but as it is no matter where you are someone might censor you in this day and age. If not there's no traffic and that's the only reason they don't take you for granted.
>>183395 Hard disagree. Wizchan is far more usable, doesn’t delete posts near as often. Only thing that Reddit does better is real niche stuff like a specific show or video game subreddit.
>>183407 An imageboard where you cant post images is pretty unusable. if you care about privacy then this is how it is, because VPNs and proxies are now heavily restricted
Writing anything critical about wizchan is likely to get your comment deleted for 'complaining outside /meta/' while meta does not allow you to post if you have VPN or proxy.
Letting wizchan moderators trace where you live and sell all your data with linked posts is obviously dangerous and unacceptable
Reddit on the other hand lets you make a new account in 1 second, dont even need an email.
>>182307 usernames, no anonymity, weird posting/commenting methods, private messaging, popular with non-techy people. in the early days imageboards weren't entirely populated with normalfags yet. it became something like a culture or a tradition to reject the 'new' internet which reddit represented and so you shit on reddit and call people redditors as an insult
nowadays???? im not sure. i havent kept up with 4chan in a long ass time. im guessing the culture of anti-reddit simply continues to exist, but in reality probably most of the people there use social media, reddit, are normalfags. they are just signalling to each other like a ritual now, the real purpose of it is gone
>>183439 It is extremely common. You are uneducated if you don't consider the possibility. Many people write embarrassing things here, under the false assumption that there are anonymous, while admins can directly see your IP address. It is obviously monetisable and dangerous. You can also see that the admins don't care and even coerce people not to protect themselves with the image ban - huge red flag
>>183440 when has their been any evidence of any such thing happening in the last 6 years? images were banned because retards use them to spam child porn and other garbage, no one cares about the mundane blogging of some shut-in on a niche imageboard
Reddit has been very interesting to me solely because it shows me firsthand the real, palpable dangers of and susceptibility of the average person to bandwagoning and appeals to the majority.
I also find it interesting how much more 'normal' it seems to me if I instead search by 'controversial.' It makes me wonder how much more different the dynamic out of Reddit would be if 'controversial' was the default ordering method.
>>183595 controversial is the only way to really read the comments and find anything that is not insane. I had a funny one this week while browsing the /r/natureismetal sub. https://www.reddit.com/r/natureismetal/comments/apvwvl/red_crab_feasting_on_the_thousands_of_newly/ Someone got a high voted comment and then changed it to what appears to be an allusion to abortion as a troll and there are so many people reeeing at it. I tried to find the deleted comment but rereddit came up with nothing.
I suspect reddit has made it much harder for sites to collect comments when they are deleted because ceddit when it ran years ago never had that problem and would expose the mods manipulating the comments clearly.
>>182312 > where the fuck would I find something like that on another forum/site? The thing is…if it wasn't for reddit there would in fact be another site for this, many in fact. I used to post on dozens of different forums for different subjects when the internet was younger, they were healthy and active places. They are all dead now without exception.
Now the internet is extremely centralized now, and reddit is centralization incarnate, its model which is entirely based on quantity over quality has killed conventional forums all over instead insisting everyone participate in the same sterilized format to be scrutinized and data mined by a giant conglomerate and policed by its own members in a giant groupthink. There's a word for that, reddit is a digital panopticon. And there's no way to defeat it, in fact more sites are becoming more like reddit as a result because reddit itself occupies more and more real estate exporting more and more of its 'culture'.
People go where people go, that is they follow one another to the active place. We've reached a point where the main reason someone goes to reddit is because everyone goes there, despite the fact the actual act of participating is horrific. Ask yourself why you're on Wizchan instead of Reddit and you'll realize activity isn't everything
>>183608 Nice picture. It makes look (even more) like morons the people who say that is "nostalgia" when someone say that Internet before was much better. And more people are noticing this. We will reach a point that anyone who denies the obvious will be just drones or are just giving to copium.
I made a stupid video about something which took forever and wanted to share it on the topics small subreddit, never posted anything on reddit before, so maybe that's why my post got filtered or something because it didn't show up, then I wrote the only mod on there a few days ago, but didn't get an answer. Then I went to their discord and saw the mod posting there frequently over the last day. I used to get really nervous even when posting something on image-boards, so getting ignored by the only mod on that subreddit and even join some discord-community I've never done before is crushing. Now I don't even feel like posting my video anymore, so much technical progress has happened over the last decades I fear that I will soon feel out of loop like old people who can't turn on a computer with only 30.
I don't know besides the popularity-contest there, especially smaller subreddits feel like cliques (+discord), they get to decide if you are even allowed to post anything, which isn't much of a problem on image-boards.
if you want to feel good about being a wizard check out the /femaledatingstrategy, they have a few 100k subs and are basically female in*els, pretty sure there are more retarded subs like that on there
>>183614 You really hit something on the head there. In a sense, imageboards and a lot of forums are very meritocratic. We don't care who you are to be able to post (picrel). Reddit, discord, and other social media sites–well, they call it 'community building' but we all know it's rank and file nepotism. These sites are made, used, and enjoyed by individuals who have these advantages in real life, got upset that they didn't exist on the internet, wanted them back, and therefore recreated them to the best they could online.
>>183614 I made an account on reddit recently to talk about some topic and a mod messaged me that I need to set a ‘flair’ on my name so that I don’t get auto filtered as some way to prevent bots, the person there might just be lazy and expects people have all been using reddit for a million years
>>183615 They are not female crabs they exclusively don't date men they deem low value. Some of the succubus there are a bit neurotic and have excessive rules which keep them single. /r/femcel was banned.
A femcel is not a crab with the gender swapped it basically means a succubus who cannot have a meaningful relationship and only get used as a practise GF or slam pig.
It sucks, chans suck in a different way. by your language I can tell that you're interested in dualistic politics (reddit v. 4chan, sjws, etc) and you're looking for something commercialized (enjoying good content), so maybe reddit is a better fit.
>>183616 I resent calling imageboards meritocratic. 4chan still has tripfags, and conversation follows not by who makes the most enjoyable or well thought out post, but by who screams the loudest and posts the most frequently. I prefer imageboards to whatever Reddit has going on, but meritocracy is not a strong suit.
>>182307 Generally I try to look for interests on chanboards but sometimes it can be limited so I'll glance over at reddit because there are people on there who know their stuff even if its a mix of retards
Some subreddits are okay but the admins are basically hyper leftists owned by the CCP. Any subreddit that goes against the leftist agenda gets banned if they become too big.
Reddit is obviously very good for hobby communities and questions. I use an account just for questions and personal hobbies. It's also very good for hiveminds, getting validation on beliefs, justifying those beliefs via common arguments that are posted, and getting mental health by support. It can be a very good tool for a person. Still, it's not very good for news. Corporations or rich people can use bots to get stories or propaganda on the front page of Reddit. Politically, Reddit admins and users lean left, but there exists conservative subreddits that I don't go to. Those could get banned anyways. I don't really bother with politics.
I found that 4chan hated Reddit back in 2011. How far back did the hate go?
>>182307 Because reddit culture is 4chan culture from 2006, while 4chan itself has since transformed from an internet hivemind to an easily manipulatable, normie friendly generic discussion board. This if more true for some boards than others of course so your mileage may vary.
>>182309 >Most of the posters there are annoying smartass normalfags, if you post anything that goes against the 'hivemind' you will get a smug reply from some asshole and be downvoted to oblivion.
>>184337 So is 4chan by the way. Half the actual interesting threads I see any time I browse there end up deleted. Janitors basically delete anything they don't like.
>>184353 So is wizchan. At least on reddit and 4chan you can crticise the sites themselves. Here any such comment gets deleted, probably including this one
>>184352 This post is astroturfing, gas lighting, whatever you want to call it. I would bet anything this 'person' wasn't actually on 4chan in 2006 or likely at any point before 2016 even.
>>184353 Who do you think applies to be a 4chan mod or janitor in this day and age? Who do you think is so desperate for power (even though it's the most pathetic power imaginable) they want to do it for free? Almost every janitor is an ideologically motivated reddit migrant, who thinks they are there to fight Nazis or some other insane garbage that only makes sense in their demented heads. Of course this varies by board, but the popular ones for sure.
Reddit was a pretty okay place before 2014 or whenever that ugly asian succubus took over as CEO. She was the one to encourage a culture of censorship of all ideas that the liberal decided was bad.
it, like all social media gives you needless tasks in life that you think need to be fulfilled when they don't. This entire karma system is ridiculous, especially being spread through every subreddit. The awards are also ridiculous.
>>184543 The problem is they don't like anything that doesn't fit into the echochamber. If you have a different opinion you have to trigger warning your post with "THIS IS A HOT TAKE, I BASICALLY THINK I'M WRONG BUT PLEASE REMIND ME WHY" otherwise you'll get downvoted or banned by the moderators. Reddit is inherently anti-discussion.
I go to a reddit for a videogame I like, there is not much to censor because it all goes as long as youre talking about the game or related things, only thing that annoys me is the stupid rehashed memes and "look what my girlfriend got me" threads
Reddit as good as long as you stick to the subs that have around less than 5,000 viewers. It's like 4chan if you just go on /b/ it'll be shitty but if you stick to the smaller boards it'll be good
>>183615 I'm not sure some entitled cunt who dates some guys and fucks other is a crab, just alot of hypergamy that's turning them into future cat lady
Reddit was better back when it had no filter, but around the time 8ch came out and the internet got a lot shittier, Reddit became another one of the main social media sites like faceberg or twatter.
>>184569 then your post will just be rejected from most subs for being too new, unless you are some schizo that makes 20 accounts at a time every month to burn through 1 reply each
>>182307 I find very specific subs somewhat helpful. Like a sub about my proffession where posts only revolve around the proffession, anything offtopic gets deleted.
Everything else is trash. Imageboards are no different. Young people ruin forums, that's the truth.
4chan used to be obsessed with hating gaia forums and deviantart. They are fickle dweebs and always were. The intellectual claims about web 2.0 crowd voting being shit are ok but whining was always there.
I'm mostly on the same boat as you. Started browsing 4chan around 2010 then stuck to imageboards for a decade. Now that I'm old and edginess has lost its appeal I get more out of niche communities on leddit.
I don't really like reddit's communities at all, most of them are really normative and moralistic in annoying ways. However, I think reddit is a decent site to search for information or certain images or pr0n, gets better results than most search engines. Usually I will search 4chan archives and reddit for information about subjects rather than google. It's a good archive of things. Personally I find that it's basically an anti-chan. Chan culture tends to focus on being contrarian, taboo, or edgy, and reddit tends to focus on being normative and moralizing. Of the two, I greatly prefer chan culture's tendency to edgyness and shitposting, although they both become annoying at times. Also most chan culture today is basically people imitating what their perceptions are of chan culture rather than the original people who created the culture, so a lot of the creativity and nuance is gone and its become a sort of caricature of itself.Reddit on the other hand has very little of its own culture in terms of original content or memes, but just absorbs certain popular opinions and ways of communication and repeats them.
>>185004 >Chan culture tends to focus on being contrarian, taboo, or edgy, and reddit tends to focus on being normative and moralizing I think you hit the nail on the head. And it's because of the format. On imageboards posts that are inflammatory can't be downvoted into oblivion and actually are the most seen because they tend to have the highest replies count. On reddit it's the opposite, where things that are feel good and feed the hivemind ego are upvoted.
>>185002 BOTH are complete fucking normalfag garbage, including this website too. Chans ruined forums as most forums that were aimed at alienated socially awkward men by edgy normalfag Chan addicts.
>>184906 >Young people ruin forums I agree, guess part of the problem is now that the internet has been around for so long young people are less inhibited to post their opinions and older people get tired and stop convincing or even engaging with them, so old people are getting fewer while young ones getting more are enforcing a positive feedback-loop, so you have young stupidness that's dominating majority-based forums, until they get old and the cycle repeats.
>>185006 Reddit is made for normals yeah, I was just browsing a subreddit made specifically for a game, and someone made a post that implied he played it for the majority of his free-time until it released, and normals downvoted his post into oblivion and mocked him for probably being a neet and having no other skills. And you really notice the shift on 4chan also, now even on /a you get reminded by every second poster that they have a career and girlfriend.
>>182307 Pretty much everyone there humblebrags in some shape or form. They will always remind you of how better they are than you, how they have a wife and kids, how they are just another stupid breeder with a superiority complex. This sense of higher worth is boosted by their occupation, which is usually making six figures by doing fuck all every day but messing around with computers. They almost always get what they want in life and they demean those who weren't born with perfect genetics or a silver spoon shoved up their ass. These people operate within a certain mindset that was programmed into them from birth, and they are competently oblivious to what is really going on outside their bubble. It's like they all run on a master script and are unable to deviate from it. They are city-minded and act like urban living is the only way of living when it's a fucking crock of shit. They have the worst memes that nobody finds funny except for literal children. Fuck, I just realized how much I hate that place.
>>185008 You need to follow a very strict rule of etiquette that just isn't possible if you're not a normalfag. You will slip up eventually and get banned or have your posts downvoted so much that they are hidden, just for saying something that is even slightly out-of-line from the ordinary. Being NEET is frowned upon on every sub and you can't say anything positive about this lifestyle or you risk being labeled as an undesirable. Redditors will literally go through your entire post history and find things to use against you when you're having arguments with them. They are incapable of having an actual debate without resorting to ad hominem. Then comes the inevitable response, "Haha, you're an autistic virgin loser!"
The content is at the mercy of the people who own the subreddits, and, the addition of an upvoting system smothers out wrongthink. Surprise surprise, opinions that conform the most with the subreddit's culture are the ones that receive the most validation. This is cancerous.
THEN when they get censored or they're bored, they come onto 4chan to derail and piss in an ocean of piss for easy replies because they know they can get away with it.
Reddit was great until Ellen Pao became CEO and she decided to censor shit she didn't like. Still the site was still okay until about 2016, where big money astroturfed the fuck out of the website to promote Hillary Clinton (this is a place that wanted to fucking elect Ron Paul in the 2012 elections but now everyone is all for the establishment candidate? Get the fuck out of here.).
Now the place is just endless propaganda and is pretty unbearable to visit. Every single sub I like ends up getting banned eventually so I just stopped going there.
>post unpopular opinion >get reported and downvoted >downvoted posts are hidden >everyone self-censors so they don't get downvoted or banned >therefore only normalfag zeitgeist approved opinions are posted or seen, leading to absolutely nobody daring to say a bad thing about mega corporation or leftist politics it seems pretty fucking self-explanatory to me. do you not know how downvotes work? i don't understand how someone that understands their function could think it's a usable site in any capacity.
i recently learned how to search a subreddit so my view on reddit's usefulness has gone up. it's still just a site i end up in via google searching for other stuff. i dobt think i could ever find a "community" there
>>187404 I am fluent in normalfag. The only times I get downboated are when I say anything that rejects the nauseating positivity that permeates the website.
>>185177 >Being NEET is frowned upon on every sub and you can't say anything positive about this lifestyle or you risk being labeled as an undesirable. It depends on how you sell it. The problem with Reddit is that they care far more about optics then the actual nature of the situation. For example, most people on /r/socialism match the definition of being a NEET but because they spin it as "fighting" the man everyone applauds them.
>>187404 >Interestingly on hackernews I write the same things and get upvoted We could have an entire thread about HackerNews itself. They take what is wrong with Reddit and amplify by 100.
Small subreddits are fine, for the most part. Some are genuinely great and a goldmine of information. Popular subreddits are trash, because of the hivemind, because it's obviously a battleground for state-sponsored trolls (US/China/Russia, whatever), because of shitty mods with an axe to grind banning anybody who dares express any controversial (=non hivemind-approved) opinion. Many of them are genuinely mentally ill and will get angry if you point out that being a mod isn't a job, lol. That said, I think it's better than most IBs at this point. I can't even post on 4chan anymore with a VPN and if you get banned you're fucked because you can't just register another account. Also most threads suck. B I suspect that even IBs are slowly dying. pic unrelated
>>187446 I actually like HackerNews, but I go there mostly for technical news/information. Most people who comment there are in IT or "IT-adjacent" so whatever they say is at least backed by some real-life experience and can articulate their opinions cogently, and sometimes you get to read some intriguing stories about how things are done in an obscure sector of the industry most people don't even know exists. Yes, there's a hivemind, but a different kind of hivemind. Reddit has a geek-kind of hivemind, HN as a nerd-kind of hivemind, if it makes sense. It's not as annoying, at least to me. Still, whenever I see someone having a Reddit moment in the comments I just collapse their posts and keep reading.
>>182307 I lurk reddit with the stealth app, it's only for reading and saving threads. I've found far more useful and realistic info in plebbit than in groidchan. that said, the userbase seems pretty shit if I were to post and engage in discussions
I'm sure most of you already know this but Reddit is amazing for product reviews. If you need to buy a new thing you can search for what people like the best on Reddit and usually you end up with some high quality shit. It's a very good way to aggregate crowd consensus over a wide number of topics and put them into lists. Image boards don't really do that as well.
>>187392 Reddit became an entirely different place in such a short time, it's crazy. I started going there in 2013 out of pure curiosity and found a few subreddits I took interest in. I remember in /all/ you would see so much stuff that is now banned. It's absolutely insane how the demographic shifted and what became censored. 2016 ruined both reddit and 4chan for me.
>>183608 Not enough people talk about how Reddit completely killed the thousands (millions?) of healthy phpbb forums on specific topics that all had their own culture. Just blended them all into a soup culturally.
>>185004 The one subset of Reddit that is “edgy” in the sense of meanspirited is anything centered around “cringe” or gawking at “trash” or low-status people. That’s where they let out the worst of their normgroid tendencies. It’s somehow both more detached and more meanspirited than chan-type edginess.
Their new UI is utter garbage but normalcattle proles eat it up because it's "mobile-friendly" and they are too fucking retarded and docile to raise any objections about it
It’s really awful, the way it’s setup is to discourage posting disagreeable opinions, the problem is with the upvote/downvote system where you can voice your opinion to a topic without contributing anything to it, which means you could have a large number of people who dislike what you have to say but could never engage with the topic deciding whether it’s good or not
>>189742 The large number of newfags and tourists on imageboards have come up with a solution to the lack of an upvote/downvote system in the form of based and cringe
For the most part socially awkward people who can't take a joke. Which is annoying if you do not agree or virtue signal or pander for upvotes by the preaching the lowest common denominator statement. The community can be pretty vapid. But there are a few very small communities that are cool you just need to find them and work within the constraints of reddit and try move your likeminded people to a more chill platform.
If you're a noob or zoomer who hasn't gained veteran status about the more obscure idiosyncrasies of the internet then maybe you find it useful to scour subreddits for someone to drop breadcrumbs. Even this well has pretty much dried up. Given it's a platform that is part of pop culture, any tidbits of information immediately loses value as the public scrambles to take advantage of it.
>>182307 that gay ass shit is just liberal propaganda like almost every big tech globohomo garbage also if you say that there's good content on shitty places like reddit, then why are on reddit in the first place? because there's no good content to begin with, the site is made for the purpose of spreading shit over the internet and the content creator should know better where to post their fucking content. and go back to reddit you stupid mother fucker cock sucker piece of shit
>>190376 reddit is terrible, but when those same people who shit on it go on to praise other sites with the exact same problems as alternatives, I do raise an eyebrow a bit…
Something in particular had been nagging me about the userbase on there. They write in broken scatter brained thoughts. There are no paragraphs. At times there is severe lack of organized and coherent thought between one line and the next.
It gives me such a headache trying to decipher whatever stream of consciousness the writer is attempting to convey. Often times jumping from one random thought to another. Everybody there seems totally fine with conversing this way.
One sentence per line like so.
Sometimes not even completing a
Stray thoughts randomly strewn about.
Oh look a kitty outside my window! any way were was i
In conclusion, my thesis is exactly what the hivemind wanted to hear,
smash that uplike button
Edit: Thanks for the award strange kinder!
What the hell is the deal with that. Since the later part of the last decade that platform became a mosaic of idiosyncrasies imported from other mainstream platforms. This occurred as a result of mass digital migrations. For example the flood of Facebook users calling subreddits 'groups'. People using subreddits as Twitter hash tags. People trying to ping recognizable brand or celebrity name usernames on reddit as it were official accounts. Not realizing it is random person who registered the username 10-15 years ago.
From where was the brain damaged way of writing adopted from? I don't know enough about other platforms to pick out all the culture clashing idiosyncrasies. Maybe the average normal internet user is just like that. Some how they all comprehend each others illegible drivel.
I tried commenting about this on there before in hopes somebody who writes this way would answer in a straight forward fashion. Most times it's just downvotes without replies. Other times the reply is generic snarky reddit-ism. One time someone suggested it was maybe gen z discord or twitch kids who spam the chat box as a fast a possible. Hence they are used to hastily written half lines. Forget about forming proper thoughts and sentences. Or paragraphs at all. That's too much out of reach.
For a while I thought it was bots but machine generated text isn't messy in this way. It produces at least some form of writing structure.
It seemed to be quite bad for a few years. Recently its seem to have gotten a bit less severe. Something about this in particular had been bothering me for some time.
Only this year I've started browsing reddit, mainly because nowhere in imageboards would I ever find discussion of classical chinese. But I kind of hate the format. I'm so used tothe imageboard format which is pretty straightforward, whereas reddit tends to bury comments that didn't get enough upboats/replies, and threads are effectively dead the day after. Also it is full of normals, altchans have a somewhat more decent userbase altogether.
>>191117 Oh and also, it's a shitload of fucking javascript, and it's unresponsive as fuck sometimes. Also most of the threads that are made are uninteresting. My point… I wasn't biased when I joined reddit, but I don't really like it after having used it for a while. Which is a shame, I wanted to cut down on the imageboards, now I use them a lot more.
It seems like r/CrabTears uses the term volcel to insult imcels. Like being volcel is worse than imcel.
I guess a lot of being an imcel is based on self-pity and victimization, so if you turn out to be a volcel than your justification for being a victim melts away and you did it to yourself
>>191322 that is the right attitude to take. but it rubs me the wrong way, the guys who talk so terribly about succubi online, but also want succubi to be loving, caring, tender, intimate towards them. write manifestos about how succubi are devils, but wants them to be angelic for him
It is in effect one person who thinks they know everything, especially about subjects they feel strongly about.
I can't think of a single interesting conversion I've had there in at least seven years. It's nasty ass mean succubi, and liberal soyboy cuckolds basically engaging in an endless gay as fuck group chant.
Whatever you type on reddit is literally archived forever.
Some fat coding faggot literally archives every post and comment 5 seconds after it's posted and there is nothing you can do to remove it because it sits archived on this guys 18 terabyte drive array, then lets people downloaded the full archive.
Everything anyone has ever wrote on Reddit has literally been archived forever on multiple hard drives. Pure unequivocal cancer.
>>191348 I think its good that it forces liars and LARPers to keep their stories straight, and I can call them out if they don't
This one guy deleted every single comment he ever made and deleted his account, after I found a deleted comment of his in the archives that proved he wasn't who he wasn't who he was now claiming to be.
Reddit was acquired by Tencent in 2019 I believe (tencent is the Chinese Communist Parties propaganda arm, they're responsible for censoring everything that doesn't support China)
>>192911 r/politicalcompassmemes is one of the only parts of reddit that's still worth a damn. Honest political shitposting without everything being astroturfed to hell and back.
>>192920 Close. Tencent is one of the many, many partially state-owned and defacto state-controlled corporations in China. They're not formally a propaganda bureau. But they do follow the CCP's orders, and they're a vehicle for the CCP's power because Tencent buys its way into foreign companies. And reddit is one such company, because Huffman and Ohanian are eager whores for renminbi.
Hence why early talk about the Wuhan virus was suppressed on reddit, and why anything about the Uyghurs is kept out of major subs like r/news. Not that anyone actually gives a fuck about the Uyghurs. But it's morbidly fun to see how reddit employees very obviously start following their Chinese masters' orders once anything Uyghur-related starts getting too many updoots.
>>182784 >>182788 I used to browse mgtow in 2017. Every post was a guy complaining that his wife cheated on him and he is just going to start lifting or some dude that got divorced and has to pay child support posting the new motorcycle he managed to save up for. I’m glad it got banned, a bunch of failed normies who were trying to cope with their failures.
>>193006 The crab subreddit was kind of the opposite. A bunch of nerds who never really tried to get laid complaining about how the game is rigged against them so there is no reason they should try.
The whole site has a weird anti-male/pro-female mindset. Outside of a few smaller subreddits succubi are pretty much considered divine infallible beings that can do no wrong. A succubus could have stabbed her entire family to death and you can guarantee there will be more than several posts either defending her outright or trying to make up excuses.
Meanwhile men are deemed as disgusting lazy failures at best and demented monsters at best.
>>191342 >Whatever you type on reddit is literally archived forever. You know in recent years I realized that nothing on the internet is forever. The days of the wild west internet are over for some time now and those forums and archives that stood since back then are now closing down or breaking apart. I know this because it has happened to me. One day the same will happen to Facebook and all its data is lost and then the same thing is going to happen to Youtube and Wikipedia and so on.
What is a single HDD of some autist? Just a fading spark in a sea of ash.
>>189757 That's not true at all. It is literally the tumor of the web, slowly diluting society. It may have its uses but nothing would make me happier than to wake up and see that it's been deleted.
>>193591 At least in my country, they are forced by government to archive anything for years and I sure they still would hoard because they profit a lot selling user data. However, you are right, but only for content and non-politically correct stuff, those they will get rid.
>>182307 I am actually surprised to see that 4chan users even attempt to gatekeep at this point. The entire moderation teams are redditors, so what does it matter? The gook data miner that runs the site has already employed the services of subreddit moderator psychopaths. I wish I screenshotted the unprofessional personalized ban message that a mod on the site gave me after I posted ‘misogyny’ on /a/, it was something like “5th time your banned so enjoy your 5 months :)” when my ban lifted, I began spamming the site and intentionally disrupting discussion so that I could get banned permanently and I haven’t posted since.
It’s easy to forget how much of an echo chamber Reddit is. Saw a random thread about how often people shower and they were talking about showering 2 or 3 times a day, showering once every 2 days is super gross. I look up a 5 year old thread same question, everyone says whatever every 2 days is ok most of the time.
A single thread gets its tone set and then people will follow the crowd.
Every sub is basically a clique. Every clique has their own Side. The Side is The Truth. People who are not on The Side are said to be Wrong. Le downboats shall flow on ye' who vote outside of The Side. Lest ye' be rife with such folly!
There are gems to be found on Leddit. If you know how to play Minecraft you can use Strip Mining to find them. Peruse the most popular threads and if you like what you see stick around for more. Another approach is to Google "x reviews, x experiences, … reddit" and you'll get experiences or thoughts about something from real people. Great for looking up products.
Reddit is a Woke community. This has pros and cons. It means the people are Nice (and try keep out Rudeness. On Chans: Rudeness is as common as sand in a desert.) But if you take a reasonable perspective that happens not to gel with Wokeness then your ideas will be downboated into oblivion. Aside from having cliques Reddit also has a huge (usually unseen) sock puppet problem. It's very, very common for competitors to write random negative posts about their competition. Likewise, companies can pay users to write exaggerated experience reports about their products so people buy them. The site has an air of candidness so this is probably a highly effective marketing strategy.
Where things on Reddit get much darker and more insidious is where politics and money is involved. Quite often the overall 'narrative' of a sub is heavily manipulated behind the scenes. If you want to see a direct example that doesn't just look like conspiratorial speculation have a look at the Bitcoin subs. They essentially censor different opinions. Splinter subs sprung up to fill the niche but there no where near as popular as /r/Bitcoin.
>>194450 Imagine being this thin skinned, if hypocritical fauxniceness is plus to you. Absolutely pathetic.
Redditors are nice as long as you agree with them, but dare to disagree with them and they will be way more agressive than chanfags, even if such agression is passive, rather than active.
>>194459 >make a shitty joke about jews on 4chan >they either agree with you or call you a faggot >make a shitty joke about jews on Reddit >Get tracked and doxed by an horde of fat redditors cunts, have the police and FBI called on you, life ruined forever and ever
>>194459 What you realize when you're actually an adult is people being assholes on the Internet aren't exercising any kind of repressed freedom to convey high truths. Nor are they taking the opportunity to express themselves in new ways. They are simply being assholes.
You come to realize that these people are often underage retards / trolls, with nothing to offer anyone. Often they will talk about 'free speech', 'politics', or appeals to relativism. All of which is meant to distract you from one simple truth: that the person feels entitled to act like a fucktard. Whether or not it impacts anyone else is something they're too selfish to care about.
It is not bold. Sophisticated. Or smart. It's just fucking immature, and supporting it just shows you're as mentally stunted yourself.
>>194494 >selfish >entitled Nothing screams bootlicker and selfrighteous cuckold like this word. >and supporting it just shows you're as mentally stunted yourself. Says the man who not just appeals to authority, but to his own. Wizchan is not facebook or home for boomers. So go to be preachy shit somewhere else.
>>194494 You are very selfish yourself if you feel, you are entitled to expressing your views where they aren't welcomed. You are not paragon of truth and no amount of stroking your own ego and believing will change that.
>>194505 >>194506 >>194507 Ouch, looks like I touched a nerve. But unfortunately for you there's no way to justify being a dick head online. It just means that:
1. You're immature 2. Not constructive for anyone around you 3. A brainlet 4. Toxic
Go ahead and welcome people with those qualities with open arms if you want. You won't be welcoming in revolutionaries who poke holes at common beliefs. Or say uncomfortable truths. You'll just be welcoming in people being disruptive dick heads. True story.
>>194655 Is this the part where you try pretend to win the argument by implying I'm not cool enough for holding such views? Lmao. You're just proving what an immature kidiot you are.
I touched a nerve because what I wrote would have doubtlessly applied to countless people here who feel entitled to act like dickheads on the Internet. But such behaviour really does make you an immature, mentally stunted person who still has a lot of growing to do before older people want anything to do with you.
You know what's not cool: acting like a literal, know-nothing child with nothing to offer. I don't expect any wise replies. Just more butthurt from people who don't want to accept what I'm saying.
>>191074 >but machine generated text isn't messy in this way the example you wrote out reminds me of the american patriot bot that was on the textboard before it went down. just because you personally havent seen a bot write like that doesnt mean they cant.
>>194677 im having trouble envisioning anyone on the planet saying what you just wrote to another person in real life. the only motive i have in this "argument" is showing you that you are hypocritical. and its pretty clear to everyone except you that ive accepted your philosophy much more than you have.
>>194494 Yeah this, take white nationalism even, for example. You can talk about it and express your views on it without being an edgy fucktard, like how Jared Taylor has through his career. Yet why is Jared Taylor and American Renaissance basically unknown on /pol/ and other edgy sites? It's because he actually requires some intellectual effort and posting "lol niggers" is easier.
Every free speech site quickly boils down to the most rotten common denominator. After the goobergate types you get the internet racists, and after the internet racists you get pedophiles, and after the pedophiles you get struggle sessions between the toddler posters and the hebe posters. You think it's just a coincidence that places like 8-chan got a pedo problem immediately after the racists migrated in?
leddit is unironically better than 4chan these days.
/pol/ is just narrative pushing crap with little relevance. Now that DT is out of office it's painfully obvious how disconnected from reality these guys are. And of course mainline 4chains is shit.
Meanwhile on leddit there are well established communities on niche topics often featuring subject experts. It's the frontpage subs that are all hopelessly pozzed, not all of reddit.
>>197294 you obviously have no use for truth, it doesn't factor into your thought process or life in general, not at all
when you actually have a coherent mind and desire information you stop caring about how it's presented, you just power through everything you experience and relate it to your knowledge and integrate anything it presents that is in common with what you know as truth and keep anything you're not sure about in mind until it fits.
you are a whiny child obsessed with appearances, you don't care what anything means you only care how it effects your appearance; what the consequences are for your social status for being seen near it
dime a dozen NPC/slave-cattle that have totally turned their back on the human process, everything that made humans evolve beyond animalistic nature you totally abhor
also you talk like the internet is organic and government funded propagandists don't run rampant in every corner - what a fucking retard you are, truly a waste
>>197310 He's right though. So many free speech communities have had people try hijack them as a place for their sexual deviancy or various (fringe) beliefs about ($whatever) in-group should call the shots. It's all just a red herring. These people don't give a shit about free speech. They're just there to take advantage of a loop hole for their own addenda and to try claim that any attempts to remove their inane spam-like messages or disgusting, abusive content is 'censorship.' It's all bullshit. These people either want to use the service as a vehicle for crime or to promote whatever bullshit they're selling. But no where in this process is a message worth thinking about. Neither to the level that it needs to be predominately in the community. Nor in many cases: even at all. And that's exactly what free speech is not.
>>197315 >So many free speech communities have had people try hijack them as a place for their sexual deviancy or various (fringe) beliefs about ($whatever) in-group should call the shots. It's all just a red herring. These people don't give a shit about free speech.

It's all bullshit. These people either want to use the service as a vehicle for crime or to promote whatever bullshit they're selling. Let's apply this analysis to the Legion of Decency vs Hollywood and see what conclusions we come to
>>197315 what about this do you not get? you just ignore that stuff when you see it and the cost of having to skip through it is worth all the good things you'll see that isn't allowed to be moderated.
the government (the jews) literally has agents and bots that go around spamming insane shit to get you to react exactly this way to the concept of freedom
i mean it doesn't even make sense, why would some one go spam where no one is going to listen to them or buy what they're selling? they aren't getting a reward for it. if people like you didn't lavish them with attention they would get literally zero feedback and their behavior would extinct no matter how fucking crazy they are.
but these kinds of crazies are exceedingly rare and disappear when your society is functioning, in part meaning it embraces freedom, which relieves stress on the population and prevents these people from becoming so.
so basically we just have to kill the jews and leftists, get rid of all the nonwhites, and permanently exile or kill all felons so we only have reasonably decent genetic stock as citizens with rights and freedom.
>>182307 reddit is not anonymous and has a upvote and downvote system of content preference this creates an absolutely disgusting form of discussion (or rather non discussion) where people just upvoot whatever scarches their spots and downvote whatever that doesnt without ever needing type a word themselves(not questioning their own beliefs) this in turn rewards people who write their posts in a certain way… add on top of that all of the CIA/FBI/whatever else PsyOp bullshittery that has been confirmed to be happening and thats my answer to your question you are right though on the net you are hunter gatherer and you should only pick the best berries from the best bushes and some berries can only be found in certain bushes no need to visit garbage places like r/pcmasterrace or whatever modern day reddit is a police state nowadays so i dont see much use from it if you have some cool subs pls do link em
I'm ashamed my reddit thread is still up after all this time… To be honest the only sub I'm interested in is /georgism so maybe I'm ignorant about how bad the site really is. I never had an account there btw, I just lurk.
>>197315 They do care about "free speech" - they need to portray the concept of free speech as something which protects them and them alone, rather than free speech being political speech. They're very quick to censor and shame anyone else's political speech, if someone tells them no. It's really petulant and transparent, but all they need to do is shout really loud until decent people give up, and then they flood the zone with their bullshit and shut down anyone else. It's typical Nazi shit to repurpose the word "freedom" to mean nothing but the freedom of the Nazis to do their usual shit. They actually believe this is what freedom is. When they're called out on this by someone who won't take their bait, they resort to the deeper shit and the Protocols shit, and try to summon the wank. When that doesn't work, they resort to harassment.
The same tactics work for anyone. You'll find liberals, communists, anarchists, and general miscreants doing the same thing fascists do. Anarchists in particular have a philosophical link to fascists so that's where the similarities are strongest. The Big Lie is used because it works and there really is no defense against it in the long run.
Anyone got suggestions for positive non normie subreddits? Like cat pictures, but one that isn’t half stories of “my dead cat” or “my boyfriend and my cat”. Neutral good looking ones too. Internet and default Reddit page is depressing, I would like to craft this information and novelty addiction to wholesome things.
>free speech >censorship >the ccp >woke broke >feminist >the left is this brainwashing dialog? are these code words that activate a crab's political persona? who is broadcasting this?
>>182307 Reddit is only mildly useful for tech advice or tutorials, but only if you lurk old archived threads. And even then it's worse than watching tutorials on youtube. Besides asking about Skyrim mod compatibility like 5 years ago, I haven't used Reddit since I first made my account. I found out quickly how shit it was when I was posting in a now dead game's forum, the userbase was retarded and the karma system was cancer. Funnily enough modern Reddit's UI is even worse than the original UI. Without knowing advanced search functions you cannot search within a specific board
The userbase changed over the years and went from based nerd dudes to the complete opposite just like many internet spaces. Now it is just another shitty social media site with all kinds of censorship and faggotry.
Reddit is only useful for very specific topic based subreddits now but even then you will encounter a lot of idiots, anything else pretty much sucks since the major userbase are woke leftists and the reddit guidelines suppress free speech in a rather bias way. I left reddit after I got tired of the censorship and woke faggotry and now I only use it to read without having an account if I ever need it.
>>200035 Anon not true, the problem with modern Reddit is that the down vote system drowns out expert opinions on anything. If you know what you are talking about you'll be silenced by the masses of idiots who know only the entry level aspects of the topic. If you don't believe me, I dare you to make a post on their science board saying that Pangea is unrealistic because of the Ocean floors and tectonic plates. You will be down voted to oblivion, meanwhile the faggot who says that his textbook says that it's real will get thousands of up votes
The reddit policies literally allow racism against white people to a great extent and I saw threads getting deleted who brought up these very issues in a civil manner. You can have extremely radical and even violent leftist views on reddit while anything remotely right or conservative leaning gets a lot of backlash and often even deleted. I also remember when the MDE subreddit got banned for jokes and shitposts while everyone else was allowed to have fun.
But yes the downvote system definitely ruins the site as well, I agree with you. A lot of people downvote in a very petty way and some faggots even downvote threads immediately after just reading the title. I also don't like how there are so many ignorant assholes now who will give the most unfunny 'ironic' answers to legit questions just to derail topics into oblivion like perma sarcastic retards who can't take anything serious for one second.
>>200045 Have they really been allowing anti-white posting and banning conservatives en masse? Was this because of the Donald Trump board? I honestly don't get why all the American tech websites have been becoming deeply Democrat in policies, considering that both parties are the same elites who agree on most policies anyways
>>200058 There's was a big thread on the conspiracy subreddit just some months ago about the anti white topics and a whole lot of people agreed that there is too much racism against white people on reddit, there were even calls for violence against whites and stuff like that. Ironically the only people who disagreed didnt even state that it's not true but they all supported the racism further because white people deserve it in their eyes.
The thread had a load of awards and upvotes and got really popular, then the admins deleted it, the replies are still there though.
This is just one example of many, reddit really turned into a leftist, woke type community over the years.
I also saw a video at the beginning of this year in which a white grandpa got beat up by a black guy in a gas station and most people made fun of the old man and wrote racist things, the thread was even on my starting page because it had so many upvotes. That stuff blew my mind but there policy basically say that it's allowed as long as it's not against 'minorities', so it really is the classic radical viewpoint that racism against whites can't exist which is retarded of course.
>>200064 I see, that is really awful. I still don't see why every single top tech site is pro-Democrat when the whole idea of the 2 parties was to give people a false choice. I get that tech companies have a ton of trannies but I thought at least some of them were Republicans too. Not that I have any interest in the politics of it, but it's strange that they would all through in their lot with a single party. Rather than do what the news has been doing for the last 80 years, of having stations for each party
>>200081 Yeah but it really doesn't make sense to me why the elites made it this way. Why not have Republican tech companies and Democratic tech companies, kinda like how they have Fox and CNN
Because reddit is neurotypical in essence. The upvote/downvote system is almost sectarian >>182344 >you saying there are some good subreddits: which ones? Well I liked r/PCM and r/NEET, but normies pululate everywhere with their downvote gangs so be careful >>182381 THERE IS ALWAYS A GAMEMASTER. So there's nothing wrong about this as long as we don't start running away or allow them to take the boards. >>182382 >succubi and whatever I don't care! I am not losing the chance of shaming their attentionwhoring if I can. OR DOWNVOTING THEM. It is guys like who are to blame, you let them take over! >>182403 >this is getting schizo So what? >>182421 >This is schizo? I thought this was basic knowledge. I see no difference.
>>182627 >short dopamine boost and its fun to disrupt normalfags lives See? This man gets it >>182628 And here we can just see the normals thinking that we still give a damn to whatever they actually think about our trolling on them.
Reddit is populated by wizards who choose a different alignment.
They join discords, transition into trannies and try to groom children and control normies with PC language and politics while they share weird tryhard wholesome memes that are all hollow.
At the root theres a deep mental illness but redditors are still faggots so i have no empathy for them
>>200183 >reddit? reddit wizard? redditors, wizards tranny chungus and wholesome, but faggots is /pol/ trannies memes on discord… groomer crabs even >>200184 >yes anon those rude words perfectly summarize the one guy who disagreed with me about Armored Core's minimum specs in /games/ last summer
>>197329 >you just ignore that stuff when you see it and the cost of having to skip through it is worth all the good things you'll see that isn't allowed to be moderated.
There's nothing witty or insightful on those places though, and all the information is heavily skewered half truths. This idea that there's some esoteric knowledge on shitholes like 8chan is bizarre to me, the average poster there is a certified retard. People that have worthwhile things to say don't post them in between half naked toddlers and edgyJew memes on some "radical free speech" imageboard, even if they have no other platform. If they're banned from mainstream social media, then they have online blogs, work for think tanks, do interviews and release periodicals. Back to my example with Jared Taylor, he does all of the above and is currently banned from all social media. The value in free speech lies in being able to say unpopular but truthful things, cunnyniggers and /pol/shit spam isn't valuable in the slightest. It should be obvious to you that the banned individuals who do have things worthwhile to say, don't ever lower themselves to going to those garbage shitholes.
Here's a trick. Sort by old/new then it'll be almost like an old fashion forum
It's interesting that wizards care about some internet points. My downvoted comments have more replies than upvoted comments, if you mean they would just passive aggressively downvote
Saying "nigger" makes you so much more edgy and anarchist and free speech platform, yeah right…fuck off.
In my opinion wizchan can be a lot worse than reddit is. Wizards cannot exists on reddit and only on this site? Bitch please. If anything, I can see a lot more "normies" here and non virgins and even underage. Wizchan, as a platform, is no diferrent than others. It is the same shit essentially. I do not identify with particular platform or forum and I don't need some edgy teen to tell me what is wizardry an what is not.
>>200261 I agree, but the site itself is filled to the brim with awful people. Atleast with Twitter you can only follow whoever you want. I just searched #TheNoticing, followed ~40 people, then unfollowed anyone who posted about trannies or christianity.
