at some point the cesspit that is the internet has to settle and hit the lowest stable configuration. perhaps that's reddit. it'll be there till the sun goes dark

Reddits pretty cool. you can easily search content and get some cool perspectives on it. plus upvotes send the best posts to the top, which is where the one I'm writing now would go if SA had one

Judging by the top-voted items on Reddit, it's mainly populated by shut-ins in their 20's and 30's who are STILL butthurt over stupid poo poo that happened in high school.

"tell teacher she's wrong/ given lunchtime detention"

"kid gets suspended for having blue hair - I am literally shaking right now"

"bullied boy finally fights back against his attackers - school expels HIM, also his bullies are all given commendations by the school, also the local police show up at the kids house and shoot his dog and take a poo poo on his front lawn. The kid is now facing life imprisonment without parole."

I don't use reddit, but I figure a lot of funny things get passed around the internet, particularly with videos and pictures. If someone found a funny video or picture there and brought it here, I really couldn't care less.

I've never visited the site outside of it occasionally being the first hit for a random google search, but I have known several friends who liked visiting the site. The general impression I get is all the mra/brony/fedora/pedophile/etc stuff is relegated to specific subforums and doesn't necessarily overlap with other forums that you're average person who found the site for a specific topic would see. I dated a girl who liked to read r/trees for example and it was pretty much the exact same thing as tcc weed threads from what I saw when reading over her shoulder. When I've joked about stuff like "to catch a redditor" to my friends who browse it they didn't even really get the reference and had no idea there were subreddits dedicated to borderline pedophilia, it's a really compartmentalized site apparently. Your average goon probably knows more about bronies and the red pill than your average redditor to be honest.

The bronies thread here in GBS is loving hilarious anyways, if that's where all that poo poo is coming from I see no problem.

I used to surf reddit a lot until the whole creepshots thing occurred and how i came to realize theyre all scumbags. the site doesn't deserve my page clicks. At the very least posting reddit memes and the use of "le" should be probatable.

I agree.

Instant probation just for saying its name. Bans for repeated offences.

Just use the same rules that have been used to eradicate the MLP poo poo.

no; the reddit way is essentially to turn the post with the most emptyquotes into the op. this is considered desirable because

my complaint about reddit: the thing that irritates me the most when i try to use it is how when you're in some subreddit and use the search, by default it searches the entirety of reddit instead of the subreddit you're in unless you click a box that pops up

if i wanted to search the entire loving site i'd be on the main page and not in some subreddit you fuckers, thanks for reading!
