Opinions on Reddit dudes?

Personally I think it's a fucking echo chamber that is has become hijacked by virtue signalling, karma whoring, toxic SJW cunts.

Anyone use it? If so, why?

reddit is better than Jow Forums because at least on reddit the trannies, faggots, junkies, porn addicts and fetishists are hidden from plain sight instead of being pushed daily

True, I dont get this site's obsession with trannies. It's fucking retarded

Sorry I don't speak retard, can you explain what you mean in a clearer format...?

I use Reddit for getting news on and discussing fantasy football. The structure of it is much better than what we get over here.

It's good if you contribute an actual discussion and stop looking at the votes. The voting system itself only serves to disorganize comments and push echo chamber shit to the top (jokes, sub culture agreement, etc.), sometimes it's not consistent on controversial subjects solely because of the people that happen to look at a comment or post that (dis)agree with you first, so you can say the same shit and either have it pushed to the top or forced to the bottom (which doesn't attest to your message's quality). Otherwise if a sub allows memes it tends to be worse than the shitposts I see on the various boards here, if only because they're on a lower rung of the cultural ladder internet-wise. Occasionally reddit will discuss niche things I can't find on Jow Forums so I indulge there instead. For example: when fortnite was introducing BR, it became more difficult to talk about STW in its own general, so the dedicated subreddit ended up generating more discussion by far.
Make no mistake though, reddit is full of genuine morons, at least here I can dismiss stupid posts as shitposting the majority of the time, and it's equally grating (if not moreso) to see reddit-speak outside of reddit.

A minority post relevant interesting passionate things to their favorite subreddits.

The majority are, excuse the term, thoughtless sheep that define what NPC means to me.
Vacant people who wait for the herd to tell them what they should think.
They let popular opinion dictate who they're allowed to like and dislike.

These are the people that marketing departments target.

Reddit is only good for discussing really niche subjects with a rather small amount of users. Any normie topics are filled with retards

Informative, thanks user.

Having an username and a post history as well as a point system makes it so people keep trying to be accepted. The anonymity of Jow Forums creates a lot of awful posts but it is a sacrifice I'm willing to make.
The point system allows for unpopular opinions and statements to just get hidden.
The subreddits are all over the place to the point of duplicity. I prefer the static, small array of boards and posts per board Jow Forums has. It just has better navigation.
I don't really care about the userbase, the format is just not as good. Though Jow Forums could use some markdown formatting.

Downvotes and hiding comments from downvotes is absolutely retarded. The karma system is retarded to but other message boards have had those for years. The negative karma and downvotes and bullshit is what makes it just awful.

There are some good communities in there, but most of them are shit.

Opinions on /r9k dudes?

Personally I think it's a fucking echo chamber that is has become hijacked by trap posting, pepe whoring, toxic incel cunts.

Anyone use it? If so, why?

I've found that Jow Forums is a significantly bigger echo chamber than reddit is, only for the other side.
I use reddit daily, mainly cause of the memes, videos, gifs, and sometimes there are interesting articles or threads. generally i kill time with it. It's definitely better than 4ch for that purpouse, every third post here is woman hate, racism, homophobia, or other forms of hate. Not to mention the porn..

Everyone on reddit here assumes every one on r9k browes reddit too. its bizarre how that hive mind makes you think. reddit is shit,.

every single reddit nigger deserves to have everything taken from them

Jow Forums is also an echo chamber, but instead of virtue signaling we have vice signaling.

It's actually pretty based on smaller subreddits for very niche subjects. I mean like less than 1000 members. Obviously the bigger boards will be cancer and I find the whole upboat karma system gay as fuck too.

>Reddit is SJW
lmao. These guys are just as oblivious as you people on here if you go anywhere other than explicit lefty aubreddits. It's almost as bad of a cesspool as here but less justified because people don't talk about their own missfortunes that would explain why they hold antiquated beliefs.
>t. lefty who's stuck here because there's no other community quite as good for talking about your misery
I'd still really like if you stopped being so goddamn racist, anons

reddit is shit.

censored to hell. userbase mostly retards, normies, sjws etc.

everyone using reddit obsessed with up/down voting. read peoples post histories meticulously when they don't agree with them to try to pick out their personal background.

the user system on Jow Forums makes it one of the best boards on the internet

I'd like it if you would stop being such an obnoxious nigger, but we can't have everything we want in life, can we?

Fellow lefty here, are you bothered by race realism, or just racial hatred? Honestly this place convinced me that psychological race differences do exist, and have a genetic component. But I agree with you that we shouldn't be hating other races or forming ethnostates or anything like that.

>Anyone use it? If so, why?
To laugh at the people who are even more pathetic than me of course.

>Personally I think it's a fucking echo chamber that is has become hijacked by virtue signalling, karma whoring, toxic SJW cunts.
I'm sure you came up with that opinion yourself right?

like you came up with all your opinions yourself faggot

Combine the worst of Reddit, Jow Forums, Google level data mining with permanent record and you will get Discord.

People who use Reddit for the sake of using Reddit are always faggots and annoying(just like 4channers who do nothing but browse Jow Forums and have their entire personality built on the site they use). People who use SubReddits for their interests and browse there once in awhile are always okay from my experience.

>Doesn't realise Jow Forums is a echo chamber

They suck amazing cock though I browse reddit and Grindr to get head

I don't feel the need to preach to the choir

This. Some of the most retarded shit gets recycled here endlessly over and over again. I bet somebody who started it all was just trolling and people fell for it and took it as a fact. Then more came around and now what is left is absolute asylum that is like some public attraction for anyone with functioning brain.

I think it's, because Jow Forums got more mentally ill people compared to reddit.

I'm sure psychological differences between races exist, but it's hard to pin down how much of it is cultural and how much is genetic. And currently we see races being treated very differently in society, so I think we have to combat that before we can meaningfully talk about the genetic component of it. Because at the moment I don't see a way of doing a controlled study of the genetic vs. societal influences.

Another thing with psychology is that it relies on tests that humans have constructed to put numbers on abstract patterns in thought. Think of IQ for example. Now the tests have mainly been constructed by white middle class people and been developed on white middle class psychology students. So probably they are very good at telling you something about them, but not necessarily about social groups. The problem with most of these tests is that "they can't be questioned" because they present them selves as objective methods. And they are in the way that they objectively measure how good a person does at those tests. But where they aren't objective anymore is by claiming that the result of the test says something deeper about a person and values them on it. In the case of IQ e.g. we have just agreed on it being a universal measure for intelligence. But the fact that everything that isn't white middle-to-upper-class students, or brought up in Western culture should perhaps point us in the way that it isn't as universal as one might believe.

So a lot of race realism just seems to be racism hiding one step deeper, meaning you point at a statistic on a test that has been designed to favour whites in order to call whites superior.

but transgirls, drugs and fetish porn are all great

reddit is too sanitized

Jow ForumsFragileWhiteRedditor is unironically more based than anything on Jow Forums.

ngl its pure shit like all the other people said but my one main thing i hate about it is how divided it is lets say you want to talk about skating or have a question on skating on Jow Forums you go to sp and make a thred to post on reddit you make a post on r/skating then everyone is like o no you have to go to r/skating questions to ask a question then you ask a question you get an answer then you go back to r/skating to ask about what decals every one uses and they send you to r/skating decals then some one points out you have a semi controversial opinion and get banned from all skating subreddits

Reddit is such a huge site with so many subreddits that I find it hard to believe there's nothing on reddit for anyone who uses Jow Forums, unless they only like anonymous shitposting. I like r/stupidpol. It's basically for lefties who hate SJWs. Like /leftypol/ but less edgy? Idk I never browsed /leftypol/ much.

Reddit is also less of an echo chamber than Jow Forums. Sure, every subreddit is an echo chamber and all the biggest subs share a very particular boring liberal bias, but there are many niche subs that are different. Jow Forums is too small to avoid "Jow Forums culture" permeating just about every board. Not to say that there aren't small differences between boards.

>all these "but reddit is full of npcs who circlejerk their talking points"
>they don't realize Jow Forums is as bad as reddit in this regard

>Because at the moment I don't see a way of doing a controlled study of the genetic vs. societal influences.
I can link you a couple studies that I think accomplish this if you want. E.g. adoption studies handle differences in parenting and neighborhood, and there was recently a study which compared the correlation of phenotypic features such as skin color with IQ vs the correlation of ancestry with IQ, and found that ancestry correlated more strongly (implying that the correlation is not primarily due to colorism).

>But where they aren't objective anymore is by claiming that the result of the test says something deeper about a person and values them on it.
I think IQ is a very good metric for intelligence. But even if it isn't, and all it is is your ability to do well on this one weird test, isn't that still a psychological difference? Doesn't that represent a real crack in the armor of egalitarian orthodoxy?

I will say in defense of IQ (and in admission of it's limitations) that racial IQ differences pretty neatly correlate with skull sizes, EXCEPT for eskimos. Eskimos actually have larger skulls than any other race, but an average IQ that is only in the 90s. The reason for this? Eskimos have to navigate a barren landscape without many landmarks, so their spatial/navigation abilities are probably better than any other race. Presumably this takes a lot of brain power. IQ tests don't include this as a factor, and so they miss out on this particular "type" of intelligence.

I wish you'd finally commit suicide. You'd finally do something worthwhile in your life

Jow Forums is worse. At least Reddit has left and right subreddits. See: Jow ForumsTheDonald and Jow ForumsPolitics for the two most popular examples.
Jow Forums has a constant shitposting barrage from fragile white incels who can't stand the fact they're being made fun of for being sexless losers.

granted, there is a difference in psychology linked to race. I'm not arguing there isn't. The study with adoptive parents can't control for skin color, but the correlation comparing one sounds real interesting. Got a link to it?

The thing I'm saying is that you can construct tests all you want and say "look that person is good at that test", but you shouldn't generalize the results to a point where you're finding value judgements about that person. The fact that there's a great correlation between skull size (which whites are just pretty much at the top off) but it breaks down for the only race with a bigger skull than whites, should tip you off to there being a white-bias there. Yes, you can construct a just-so story about why Eskimos are worse at IQ Tests, but that isn't quantifiable (or even verifiable) in any way (like most of the stories pop-psychology likes to tell you about why things are as they are), but that's true for any race. Caucasians for example could arguably put much more brain power into their sense of hearing and location-mapping because the woods we lived in were very dense and didn't allow for view as far as Eskimos. And you can't really argue which of these theories has more of an impact because they are non-quantifiable. Except if you say "but Eskimos have a worse ratio of IQ to skull size", which is kind of pointless because you brought that theory up in the first place to explain why it's a property inherint to Eskimos and not the methodology of measuring their intelligence.

>Got a link to it?
Yep!

>it breaks down for the only race with a bigger skull than whites
Eskimos are not the only group with a bigger skull than whites, they just top the list. East asians also have a bigger skull than whites, and they have a correspondingly larger IQ.

>Yes, you can construct a just-so story about why Eskimos are worse at IQ Tests, but that isn't quantifiable
hltv.org/forums/threads/1611611/inuit-iq
It kind of can be quantified though. According to that link there, when given a test of IQ that involved memorizing drawings, eskimos scored 6 points higher than whites. This implies that they score lower because most of our current tests don't weight spatial recognition/memorization in a way that corresponds to the amount of brain space need for those tasks.

>you brought that theory up in the first place to explain why it's a property inherint to Eskimos and not the methodology of measuring their intelligence.
Eh, I don't think so. I was actually kind of conceding that IQ doesn't measure everything: there's a good, brain-related trait that eskimos have that makes their brain bigger, but IQ tests don't capture it. But I still maintain that IQ measures SOMETHING useful, even if it isn't everything, because look at how well it fits with skull sizes for most other groups.

I'm not sure why I use it other than to see the slight bit of decent content there because Reddit users are fucking insufferable, especially in the comments

I usually just browse r/tumblrinaction to cringe at SJWs gone off the rails.

>At least Reddit has left and right subreddits. See: Jow ForumsTheDonald and Jow ForumsPolitics for the two most popular examples.
You realize that the right wing TheDonald subreddit got quarantined and the leading left wing subreddit is just called politics right?
