If you cut away that whole pedo-friendly crap I would have no problem with Reddit.

That's sort of like Marion Barry saying that if you don't count the murders Washington DC has a fairly low crime rate. :sigh:

EDIT: you know what I dug a little deeper so I have to take that back. The problems with Reddit are a bit more complicated than just that.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

Right now undead are at the top of my shit list. Undead are complete fuckers. Those geists are fuckers. Necromancers are fuckers. Necrosavants are big time fuckers. Skeletons aren't too bad except when they bleed everyone in the company. Zombos are at least not too bad.


I once tried going to reddit but never made an account because I couldn't figure out how to look at threads. Every time I clicked on a thread title it wouldn't go to the thread. Also it is really hard to navigate the site and figure out what the gently caress you are looking at.

Also reddit is loving trash.

Why does reddit think that having a much larger userbase makes them better than SA? In my experience places with a lot of traffic are 90% memes and flamewars, and the people who are cool and good are all hidden in some obscure part of the site.

Compare a popular twitch stream with one that has less than 2000 viewers. The popular chat is just people copy-pasting memes and racial slurs at light speed, meanwhile the obscure chat is cool people talking about stuff in a civilized manner.

I also find that most popular sites have atrocious page-layouts and are non-intuitive to navigate. They tend to have poo poo policies and poor moderation too.

Redditors are actually proud of their lovely unusable layout because they think it keeps out Facebook users. Like a website with 250 million monthly users is a secret club.

I remember when a popular twitch chat saw a black person in a video game and immediately spammed links to videos of monkey noises. Now that streamer no longer allows video links.

reddit is like, imagine what a turd you were back when you were playing starcraft 1 and everybody on bnet would threaten to rape and kill you if you beat them and their bad rush, you cheating fag friend of the family, cause I'm an ex Marine and I'll find out where you live. So remember what many of us were like back then. Now imagine that there's memes all over the place and they're older than you so you have no idea where they came from. And everybody communicates in memes without even knowing why.

So it's mostly for kids, that's why the majority of their content sucks. Also, they have no paywall so lol at the idea that they can "keep the facebook users out" but that's part of my facebook rant, which isn't suited for this thread. I'll just say I sometimes miss the old days where the only meme was goatse. :corsair:

Some of it is this, but a lot of the racism on reddit seems to come from people in their 30s and 40s which is a lot more disturbing imo
