I don't know why you guys hate on Reddit. It has more functions than you guys and your threads don't get deleted after a day or so.
I don't know why you guys hate on Reddit...
I dont hate reddit, the sign up does not bother me given you do not need a legit email although I do not like the culture where people look through your comments. For me it is simply too fast or popular
I do not get to discuss anything unless I am one of the first comments, I do not get to propose an opinion that is unpopular or it will not be seen. I do not mean offensive opinions but rather once I was trying to discuss Jason Kidd as a top 5 point guard of all time
I received so many dislikes that my follow up post with stats supporting my reasoning was completely lost in the interaction. I think the culture is you use the likes and dislikes to determine what is worth reading and what is not, which does not work for me because it is hive mind rather than any fun discourse
Mods tend to ban people over trivial shit, upvote system makes sure that popular opinions get the most attention which creates circle-jerks, when your karma points get below 0 you have 15 minute cooldowns between posts, most of the subs don't let you even post if your karma points are below a certain threshold or if your account is new (which also means you can't just make a new account when you get banned). And, personally, I find most of the people there genuinely obnoxious, regardless of the sub.
The problem is the userbase and mods. Here's the main difference between reddit and Jow Forums:
Reddit users are well-adjusted professionals, students, and normies, who occasionally hop onto the internet to engage in some fun healthy intellectual discussion with other internet users
Jow Forums users are outcasts, crazies, freaks, and autists with no friends who enjoy talking about wacky stuff and acting free-spirited
I don't fit in on reddit
Another issue is if you post on one board you can be banned from dozens of other boards instantaneously. The Donald for instance is one of these boards, which is funny given I am not a Trump supporter.
They try and quarantine opinions too much
It's censorship is worse, you must log on, the point system is pro-censorship in the worst normalfaggy shaming tactic way, it's spread so thin there's no traffic so you feel lonely, they censor and are normalfaggots, it's lonely, they steal all content, after a day or two no one will remember your archived post, even if archived people still delete the comments, full of norms and censoring, did I mention they're normalfags that censor and it's not for the anti-social?
Plus they were just as pedo and abnormalfaggot in general as Jow Forums but pretend not to be. We're invaded, but they're just ridiculous. Soon their piracy sub will be banned too they say. They take down fat people hate, incel sub, then try to hide such subs from being searched, then took down death vidoes form watchpeopledie, etc. They're ever more gay but at a rate much higher than here due to reddit being more marketable. Traffic means cost, cost means need advertising or no longer anonymous so useless site, ad agencies make money by (supposedly) being politically correct.
Yeah, they tend to delete all the controversial subs as well.
I don't hate reddit. I hate redditors who post on Jow Forums.
the point system is the major issue. With points, the threads which get the most visibility are the most agreeable ones, not necessarily the ones that are best for discussion. With a bump system the threads that get the most visibility are the ones that produce the most discussion, which are usually not the most agreeable posts.
I tried reddit once, I asked about buying a house in japan. I was having a nice conversation until some random popped in and said I was a retarded and that I need a visa to buy a house(not true). When I told him he was wrong I was banned indefinitely from not only that board but most of the japan related boards. I tried to appeal the next day and was muted from messaging the mods on all of those boards. I also randomly got banned from a few political boards that I never even posted in. And can you believe thye think we are bad guys?
>ask for help on a help subreddit
>no one responds
>gets downvoted anyway
n..nice
I tried it out for a bit, and honestly, it's absolute garbage. It's all the same mindless pandering for attention, and then people jerking each other off in agreement.
-10/10
i don't get upvotes and it makes me feel sad
I know that feel, made a joke on a basketball forum about John Stockton being white that did not land. Could not talk about sports on that account anymore since I was banned practically everywhere.
Did not use any racial epithets or profanity, think I referenced his short shorts and lack of flashy dribble moves. If a joke does not land on Jow Forums at worst I get called a faggot
>Another issue is if you post on one board you can be banned from dozens of other boards instantaneously.
You know what's really stupid? This is actually against the rules, but the admins refuse to enforce that rule "to protect fragile communities against bad actors".
everyone I know who frequents reddit is a snarky asshole. One time I tried reddit myself and the mod god complexes got me off quick. Plus subreddits like meirl treat their shit memes way too seriously.
Found out about rebbit because it became the bogeyman on /v/ in 2012-ish. Browse it at work every day, because well not going to browse Jow Forums at work. I can waste a good 2 hours twice a day reading random shit from reddit.
If you find the our site inferior, please go back to where you came from and stop posting here.
they downvote literally anything
I don't really hate reddit all that much. I mainly go on there for either porn or military/combat footage and the occasional meme (although most of it is normie shit). For the most part people on Jow Forums hate reddit because it's user base is pretty much the polar opposite of Jow Forums's, they're normal, well adjusted citizens of society whereas most ppl on Jow Forums are loners, doomer, neets, or degenerates.
it's ironic how reddit went from a place where you say anything you wanted to a hub of self centered communities
And that's not even mentioning how power-hungry the mods are. You'd think they were stationed in a Soviet gulag.
They're a bunch of fucking pussies. If you dont conform 100% to the sub-reddit's way of thinking you will get banned really fast. Its like real life and people are too thin-skinned. At least here I can call OP a nigger and nobody gives a shit.
Reminder
reddit is where dumb people go to act smart
Jow Forums is where smart people go to act dumb
Mods will ban you for the smallest things. I remember a couple years back I made a joke on r/4han and some faggot replies saying that I used the joke wrong. We ended up getting into a little argument over who was right and the next day I was notified that I was banned for a month. I tried talking to the mods about it explaining the situation and they tried pulling the old "DUUR I WAS ABOUT TO UN BAN YOU ACKTUALLY BUT SINCE YOU'RE WHINING YOU CAN STAY BANNED". I literally wasn't even whining, just explaining the situation to give some concrete context.
Because of the karma system that enforces a subreddit culture, plus the faggotry related to usernames and their egos
>go to the Boston Celtics forum in March or so
>say Kyries style of play is detrimental to the team and they play better when he sits as evidenced by the discrepancy in the record when he plays
>get banned
>he plays like absolute garbage in the playoffs with a team that just made the eastern conference finals without him
Cant even say I told you so because my account is still banned months later for having an opinion opposite the most popular one. Why does the dislike button function as a report button?
I am not calling the player a nigger or even insulting him personally, the aforementioned should not be a bannable offense in a sports community but is, yet banned as fuck. Kek reddit is shit
I wouldn't hate it if you faggots learned to stay on your own site.
>Reddit users are well-adjusted professionals, students, and normies, who occasionally hop onto the internet to engage in some fun healthy intellectual discussion with other internet users
Reddit users are idiots who believe themselves smart, Anons are idiots but behave in an honest way
because there is no real freedom there
hey guys
redditor here
i love it on Jow Forums because of pepe!
>but behave in an honest way
nah, there are a lot of retards on reddit tho
I've only ever used reddit for a few closed communities based around games where they decided to use a subreddit as a forum. Though, even then it was absolutely abysmal so I don't touch reddit at all anymore. I remember making some joke about some typo in the game and everyone starting getting angry and downvoting my post. I told them it was a joke and not meant to be taken seriously. Apparently I forgot to add the "Joke" tag and the "Shitpost" tags to my post (first time posting and there were lots of different tags so I missed these ones).
When I see people talking on reddit they don't feel like real people. Lots of the stuff on reddit feels very unnatural and forced like it's all fake.
That's one think I hate about reddit as well. They steal culture from places like Jow Forums and Twitter and water it down so that retards can enjoy it and then whine when places like instagram take their culture.
Reddit is a terrible place to have a discussion about anything because every single sub-reddit is a circle jerk and echo chamber. At least here I can have a discussion about anything and whilst some will just troll, others will reply and it doesn't matter who I am.
I've tried having a discussion about politics/news on Reddit and been called a racist even though I'm not white, I can have that same discussion here and whilst I'll get some form of racial abuse I'll be able to have a conversation (though talking about politics/religion/news etc. on the internet is aids).
The ONLY thing Reddit is good for is advice (tech tips or DIY, not personal advice) and meeting people. I've met 3 people on /soc/, 1 tried to kill me, 1 stole from me and the last was the most disgusting person on the planet. On the other hand I've had a great time meeting people from Reddit at social drinking events. Not the dating sites like r4r or FAdating; those are aids.
> I've met 3 people on /soc/, 1 tried to kill me, 1 stole from me and the last was the most disgusting person on the planet.
Kek please deliver especially the last one
Why tf do normalfags even care about upcummies?
The only use they have is in that specific thread
>I've had a great time meeting people from Reddit
You need a certain amount of karma to post without a 15 minute God damn cool down period between each response, which is made worse by the fact you can not respond to multiple people in a single post like on Jow Forums
i have social anxiety even online. I don't want a reputation. I don't like the idea of people digging through my old posts. I don't like people voting on my posts
Any how does this answer my question about upcummies?
Can't comment on the American one, but the UK ones are surprisingly tame for internet meets. Only time I've ever seen anyone like those pics was at a Metal meet and I never went again. Hell at the nerdy meets I go to it's about 7 guys and 5 girls every week.
I was lonely after moving cities and used those discord threads, saying I just wanted friends and would love to meet up with people for a drink.
>get added by a girl after a week and we chat a bit before we voice call, turns out it is a girl
>seems normal enough, don't have a lot in common but I'm lonely so chat away with her
>complains non-stop about her life and keeps talking about how smart she is
>dropped out of law school in first year from a shitty uni
>keeps getting fired from her jobs but it's totally not her fault
>exchange pics after a few days, seems cute enough
>talking for 2 weeks before she says her landlord is throwing her out
>hasn't paid rent, but it's totally not her fault
>stupidly say "Hey I've got a spare bed you can crash on until you find something"
>she can't drive so offer to pick her and her stuff up, she's only an hour away
>the girl in the pic was clean, tidy and presentable
>the girl I picked up had claws, not nails
>her hair came down to her waist and was filthy/stank
>her clothes were covered in stains and she stank of shit
>her face was covered in piercings and her ears were stretched to the absolute limit
>when she hugged me she felt sticky and damp
>still I'm a nice person and it's only temporary
>in exchange for staying she'd cook (at her insistence) and clean the place
>after the first meal she cooked I took her for health concerns, the only way she could clean the place was if she turned up in a biohazard gear to stop infecting everything
>refused to shower or groom herself
>kept her room locked all the time,w as until I kicked her out 3 weeks later that I found she'd been shitting in a bag
>Shitting in a bag
Did you sniff it
kek is this the meet up for r/foodporn?
Valid reasoning. Also how is Jason Kidd in your tio 5 point guards of all time? What?
This user gets it. Just the same old trope really; retards from other websites found out about le epic 4chinz and tried to colonize it despite having no understanding of the culture or humor.
I'm not a degenerate so no.
G74N4Zd contact wintercristale for nudes
full of snarky self righteous faggots. go to any thread and sort by controversial and see the sort of shit that gets downvoted. those cunts are fucked. pretty much all hate for reddit is validated. I like how on Jow Forums I can read every faggots opinion on something without the hivemind recommending me which comments I should take note of while having me search for anything that's not upvoted, to downright deleting anything that upsets them too much. locking threads and having a fuckload of rules for posting on certain boards and threads. wtf wheres the freedom of speech? if you cant consciously filter out the shit you don't care about or ignore/disregard a comment you don't agree with or one that hurts your precious feelings without crying to the mods or whatever the fuck goes on over there then you should unironically killyourself you gay little delicate flower. also too much competition to be le funny guy, and they're not funny, theyre normies who get off on recognising some shitty reference or some boomer ass family friendly joke, the sort that get sympathy laughs for the sake of politeness irl. or I could be wrong, im pretty retarded.
>or I could be wrong, im pretty retarded.
Apparently you're smarter than 90% of Reddit.
6 foot 4 guard that can play either backcourt position, is one of the most prolific shooters in the history of the sport despite playing his prime in an era with horrible pace and spacing, two Finals appearances on the fucking Nets that were a lottery team before his arrival and an embarrassment similar to GS prior to that, lock down defense at 37 years old in an NBA Finals on Lebron James.
I can not think of a point guard that is not only an exceptional playmaker, defender (1-3), shooter but also has a championship, and has been the best player on Finals teams. Now imagine if he played with Kareem or Malone his entire career.
