[QUOTE=Strongbad;37948363]If r/atheism and r/creepshots don't convince you that Reddit is shit, nothing will.[/QUOTE] I've never seen r/atheism or r/creepshots. Besides, that's like writing Facepunch off as shit after reading LMAO pics.
[QUOTE=SPESSMEHREN;37948387]I've never seen r/atheism or r/creepshots. Besides, that's like writing Facepunch off as shit after reading LMAO pics.[/QUOTE] How is LMAO pics shitty? I like reddit, but /r/atheism is really, really bad. Videos are not lying, take a look yourself, click some links: [url]http://www.reddit.com/r/atheism/[/url] Besides, reddit can't be "shit". It's not one community like facepunch. It's more similar to 4chan only with much, much more user-created boards. It's a lot of different communities on one website.

[QUOTE=milkandcooki;37948378]Subjectivity isn't a real thing, huh? [/QUOTE] I thought that was implied in my post.
[QUOTE=Sir Whoopsalot;37948543]How dare people not believe the same things I do![/QUOTE] Why do you think you know what I believe in? I think you clicked some wrong link, because the one I gave you contains stuff like: [url]http://i.imgur.com/W7WM5.jpg[/url] [url]http://i.imgur.com/FKmKI.jpg[/url] [url]http://i.imgur.com/2JlVa.jpg[/url] [url]http://www.reasonistproducts.com/wp-content/gallery/customer-photos/dsc03254_edit.jpg[/url] That is all they post. Literally. No intelligent discussions, no nothing. I once posted there asking opinions/knowledge about some beliefs that do not involve any sentient Gods or spirits, do not contradict with scientific theories but do have a system with afterlife and all that other jazz. They didn't even want to discuss it because apparently there is only two type of people in the world: Those who don't believe in anything bigger and religious extremists who kill their families because Obama can be re-elected. How mentally ill you(read: they) have to be a part of an internet board dedicated to saying how stupid some stupid thing is without any interesting discussions?
[QUOTE=Strongbad;37948363]If r/atheism and r/creepshots don't convince you that Reddit is shit, nothing will.[/QUOTE] We can all agree that the default subreddits are absolute shitholes (maybe except askreddit and IAmA) but you can't really judge the whole site by them. There are plenty of brilliant ones out there that are not flooded with shit and mods actually do their job to keep it that way. Just because you went to reddit once to check what it was doesn't mean you know all of it. There are thousands upon thousands of subreddits and saying all of it is shit because you saw /r/gaming, /r/politics, /r/creepshots or even /r/picsofdeadkids is fucking dumb. I've been going to FP and reddit for years and both have their ups and downs.
To be honest, if you dissect Reddit's community you'll find that it's pretty much the same as Facepunch except on a much, much bigger scale, thus making the shitty parts stand out more. Except for shit like r/creepshots. Even FP has standards. ...right?
[QUOTE=carcarcargo;37948670]I thought that was implied in my post.[/QUOTE] Misread your post. Apologies.
Wait, the hell? The guy in the user icon for "Nick Beard" is [URL="http://www.reddit.com/r/circlebroke/comments/z5688/if_you_hate_reddit_so_much_why_dont_you_just_leave/"]ytknows[/URL], he's a great redditor.
r/gaming sucks, r/atheism sucks hardcore, r/creepshots is self explanatory i don't like reddit

[QUOTE=VitaminAG;37950556]/r/Spacedicks[/QUOTE] Best part of reddit. You should definitely check this out.
[QUOTE=VitaminAG;37950556]/r/Spacedicks[/QUOTE] except that's a gimmicky "shock" subreddit. things like r/creepshots is pretty terrible because the users there believe that it's actually okay to do what they're doing.
[QUOTE=VitaminAG;37950556]/r/Spacedicks[/QUOTE] Whats the point of that subreddit?
[QUOTE=Fayez;37950735]Whats the point of that subreddit?[/QUOTE] To try to appear le hardcore XDXD
[QUOTE=Dr. Gestapo;37948803]To be honest, if you dissect Reddit's community you'll find that it's pretty much the same as Facepunch [/QUOTE] yeah and you know why? because pretty much 75% of people on FP go to reddit most of the pictures posted on this forum come from reddit, that includes LMAO pics
/r/picsofdeadkids Woo hoo!
[QUOTE=Bleacher;37948484]How is LMAO pics shitty? I like reddit, but /r/atheism is really, really bad. Videos are not lying, take a look yourself, click some links: [url]http://www.reddit.com/r/atheism/[/url][/QUOTE] Its not nearly as bad as people make it out to be. But it is a circlejerk, which isnt neccisarrily the worsth thing ever.
[QUOTE=thisispain;37951273]yeah and you know why? because pretty much 75% of people on FP go to reddit most of the pictures posted on this forum come from reddit, that includes LMAO pics[/QUOTE] Hell, half of the news in Sensationalist Headlines comes straight off the front page.

[URL="http://www.reddit.com/r/onetruegod"]/r/onetruegod[/URL] And reddit has a massive community Bigger community = more people More people = different interests Different interests = gross shit
My main gripe with reddit is the fact that it is swarming with Objectivists and Libertarians, like disgusting little insects scurrying about talking complete garbage. Infact one crazy little bastard in r/atheism said that state forced altruism (referring to public healthcare and welfare) was as stupid as religion.
[QUOTE=Strongbad;37948363]If r/atheism and r/creepshots don't convince you that Reddit is shit, nothing will.[/QUOTE] why are you mentioning these in the same sentence? one is full of overzealous circlejerkers one is full of pictures of underage women and has a subscriber base of horrifying fucking creeps and straight up criminals [editline]8th October 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Carcarcargoo;37952841]My main gripe with reddit is the fact that it is swarming with Objectivists and Libertarians, like disgusting little insects scurrying about talking complete garbage.

I have no idea how Ron Paul got associated with that place either oh yeah and it donated $200,000 to DwB. so fuck people who say it's the worst subreddit, that's just objectively untrue. they actually accomplished something decent [editline]8th October 2012[/editline] if you want awful subreddits, try r/Mensrights

I have no idea how reddit got where it is today with such an awful interface.
