There have been some good Reddit initiatives over time, despite the bad side of it. Remember many years ago when Goons use to work on a collaborative project of MS Paint cities, trains, towers, lairs etc.

Reddit did this in a live version where communities got together and worked on a project within the "live" paint document and it turned out pretty cool, for example:

Final version and each images meaning/history:

Time lapse video of it's pregession:

I know goons love to hate on Reddit, but it's not a bad platform if you choose which groups to join and filter/block the bad ones.

Anyway, I hope you're having a nice day, and I wish it gets better and we can all come together as a community and have a civil and kind exchange on our feelings of Reddit, my fellow internet users and comrades. Please don't use swears, and please remain constructive in your feedback :thanks: :tipshat:

It was a nice place to talk about Law & Order SVU/OC before Rollins started loving Carisi, the Mets before their fans decided to be more vocally insane, and Whitest Kids U Know before Trevor died and every post became about Trevor being dead.

I don't know how I feel about it now. :smith:

if u wanna buy a new vacuum cleaner and not sure which one to get


u can google it and of course theres like a subreddit called vacuumcleanerfans and u can read that and they'll be having huge nerd arguments over the new hoover 92300 edition or some poo poo but then u can just buy the vacuum they recommend and it'll be good

Fuck you say?
Reddit is good to get a more generalised world view of the things I like rather than my cranky goon misery box that I feel safe and nestled in, also there are hot memes and Content

However this is a website that sat on its loving arse about banning literal child porn and nazis until the communities festered and spilled out into the darker corners of the internet, bolstered by the sheer apathy of the moderators, so gently caress its history

works ok when you're searching, because the threads that somehow get real discussions get placed highly in results, but if you don't see your question already answered don't bother asking it yourself unless what you really want is just le epic memes

they won't even be vacuum memes it sucks

the interface is not good

yes it's a pain in the rear end trying to follow a big fast moving linear thread on a forum like this but turning the thread into a tree just makes it a million times worse, and the upvote system does not help sort threads in any useful fashion

the sheer size of the site makes it good for collecting small, narrowly focused communities dedicated to very specific topics, which can be a useful resource and generally operate at a scale where the failings of the interface aren't an issue since most threads will be under 10 posts

but in general, it's a really lovely interface for having conversations and an even shittier interface for cataloguing conversations for later reference

perfect summation. it's good for focused content in spite of its design choices. agreed that tree format is poo poo and like/dislike is a poor remedy. someone else said it's good in some cases on getting a bead on normies opinions because of it's very large user base, i also use it for that

overall i rate reddit 4/10
