>>185004The 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.

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

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.

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

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.

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
https://archive.ph/wip/2StUvso for someone who does self-identify as a imcel, volcel is the worst insult, up there with fakecel
so these redditors sarcastically call them volcels.co

Reddit is absolute drivel and worthless.
It is in effect one person who thinks they know everything, especially about subjects they feel strongly about.

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.

>>192911r/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.
>>192920Close. 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.

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.
