I love how they assume The Wiz was depressed.

I mean that evemail he sent was kinda sad and made me feel bad for him, but then again I'm too much of a pussy to even scam people in eve online.

He may have in that eve mail. I'd need to read it. With that said the cynical nature of crocodile tears in eve numbs me to a lot of that stuff.

my general theory is that reddit is great when there's fairly objective or widely shared opinions on what is good (technical stuff, games where there's not warring camps, etc) and utter garbage when there's strong ideological differences (politics, console warrioring, eve online)

that said, there are not a lot of good ways on the internet to deal with strong ideological difference stuff - strong from-the-top moderation is the best available but it suffers from everyone viewing moderators as biased (tests show if you write a neutral article and show it to partisans of both sides they both think it's biased towards the other side) and self-selection into forums of comparable ideology (which is actually what you start seeing in irl american media)

The good part of reddit is that it's usually the first place news hits. With the attacks at the concert in Paris, they broke it before BBC news and had live updates coming much quicker than the established news sites. It really does seem that a lot of news related to whatever I'm interested in gets posted there before anywhere else.

I don't like digging into the comments because they are usually awful in a bad way.

how much effort, exactly, do you think it is to grab a subreddit that could be useful in the future

like walk me through what exactly you're hyperventilating about

if it's never useful it cost approximately thirty seconds of time

cravius posted:

Because the internal narrative coming from the top is so anti-reddit that this is way more of a PR hit than owning that subreddit is worth. Like seriously, for a dude that extolls the value of winning a ~propaganda war~ this was a poorly calculated move.

That pretty much sums up how I feel. But what do I know, I'm just a line member. So long as I get to shoot mans in space whatever narrative plays with the majority is fine with me.

This is pretty much it. Like the system or not, reddit lives up to its name as the "Front Page of the Internet". That's probably the single benefit of the gamification they have - there's a rush to be the first person to post a newsworthy thing, so that you can get the most upvotes.

Other than that it's good if you're bored and have already read all your SA threads for the day and want to see cute pictures of cats or something.

how is anyone discussing the ibt article without mentioning the headline:

are you insinuating that the reporter is wrong to say eve is a boring game (he's not)

or are you saying the reporter is biased because he printed that CFC leadership were out to manipulate him from the start (he's not wrong here either)

consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds, and who the hell is going to rend their garments over owning a subreddit with a fox-news style name counteracting the purity of our message when we have an entire reddit corp that's bigger than goonwaffe last i checked

And that's why the rest of Eve and a decent chunk of our alliance is laughing at y'all.

This space guild is in need of a naysmith, because it's been clear since the explanation of the Sion Article that "The message we think we are sending" and "The message everyone is actually reading, even our own members." is like waaay off.

How many members of Karmafleet recognize the juxtaposition of their existence and GSF top brass calling people who identify as Redditors and Reddit as a whole a "cancerous shithole" and True GoonsTM making GBS threads on Reddit and Redditors because SA is a "superior posting platform?"

Isn't Karmafleet full to the brim of afktar ratting alts and inactives likely on par with Waffe inactives? Do they know that they probably shouldn't rely too much on those numbers that show KarmaFleet has more characters than Waffe? What self respecting human being would sacrifice their time and assets to fight for a group that shows disdain at best for their choice of subculture?
