Christians usually have their weekly church service where they can gather and speak to other people who share the same worldview. Atheists don't, so it seems more likely that they would use an external service like reddit to replace this.

One thing that fascinates me is the assumed tone of reddit. In that, on SA everything is assumed to be a joke or sarcasm or a shitpost by default. On reddit everything is assumed to be sincere and heartfelt. And it's hilarious.

If you take random and obvious shitposts from here and repeated them folks on reddit would genuinely consider it real. Like a Cumshitter post. It's fascinating to me and does go a long way to explain the insistence on using those fucken /s tags all the time.

Not trying to cause brigading or anything, but I'm just fascinated by what this goon actually did or thought they were doing on Reddit:

Everyone posted:

I posted some on Reddit. Then I missed like a month's payment so they deleted my account along with all the silver/gold stuff I'd accumulated over better than a year paying there. Then the random free account they gave has a username like Dickface 13 or something. gently caress Reddit with a rusty chainsaw.

Not just silver and gold. Even mundane links posted on Reddit can get a user a North Korean general's chest worth of medals.

https://www.reddit.com/r/news/comments/o7v79q/derek_chauvin_sentenced_to_225_years_in_prison/

Medals, clouds, hands clasped in prayer, heart eyes, a ton of wacky Reddit mascot guys. Just for being the one to post the news about Derek Chauvin's sentencing.

Posting news links for huge breaking news stories gets you a shitload more coins, gold, and ad free time than any alternative method. Including being a beautiful woman who shows her butthole.

I've encountered this a couple of times, and if they do catch on that you're not being 100% sincere they'll assume you're doing it to intentionally wind them up. C'mon, I'm just trying to joke around with you guys. :shrug:

I think there was a small but active Scientology sub that got chased out by trolls back when Reddit had basically no rules.

Same with a large homeopathy group during that era. You could just make dozens of accounts and reply to every comment in whatever awful sub with goatman and immediately just move to the next account when they banned you since it took less than 15 seconds and there were no ways to filter new users easily.

Of course that was also the era of “creepshots” and “jailbait” soooooo mixed bag.

I remember “jailbait,” (and was never as proud of The Community of Goons) even though I hadn’t been to Reddit, and followed the thread(s) here with glee. It must have been at the time been discussed, but I missed the reference: what were “creepers?” Sounds like some Chris Hanson stuff, but I’d rather ask here than look up the term on Google because I don’t always search the right terms and just don’t want to see soul-crushing personalities at 7:30 on a Wednesday morning…

The username was definitely violentacrez. I couldn’t read it as violent acres for some reason until I heard it on the news though, for some reason I could never get the space in the right place.
