Redditors " "egged" another redditor into killing himself", family to sue them, reddit to be subpoen - Polidicks

[QUOTE=carcarcargo;35542706]I've never really been to reddit, whats so bad about it that it's worse than 4chan?[/QUOTE] Nothing really, except when they go all hivemind when ONE person says that something is wrong about a company, person, etc. A few of the redditors are great guys and gals, there's a thing called "Random Acts of Pizza" where they'll send you pizza if you don't have a lot of food and there /r/askscience which is pretty great. That's about where it ends though, the rest is a giant circlejerk

[QUOTE=Jon-Ace;35542695]ITT: Holier-than-thou attitudes[/QUOTE] Reddit is an exception. It's fair game to feel better than. [QUOTE=carcarcargo;35542706]I've never really been to reddit, whats so bad about it that it's worse than 4chan?[/QUOTE] 4chan gets rid of CP as soon as they can, if they manage to see it before it gets piled under tons of other shit threads. Reddit only got rid of CP, not because they wanted to, not because it was the right thing to do, but because it was illegal and they were going to have to face legal consequences otherwise. And even then, they only got rid of it reluctantly. Also, more use of stupid memes than you can shake a stick at. Also, "BeatingWomen" and "PicsOfDeadKids". Anyone can make their own subreddit and become a mod for that subreddit. Anything goes.

[QUOTE=fishyfish777;35542732]In its whole the main subreddits are a meme-infested shithole, just visit /r/atheism for the worst example Like 4chan some boards are okay though (like the entire SFWporn network)[/QUOTE] the atheism one is the only one I've really looked at, which was a little bit on the religion bashing side but it didn't seem that bad apart from the creepy obsession with Carl Sagan to the point where it's almost worship.

Why do you guys have to hate any forum that isn't facepunch? The way i see it is this. Facepunch has some cool sections and members but is also has its fair share of idiots and problems. Kinda police state-ish in a biased way and bans are harsh. Reddit has some cool sections and members but is also has its fair share of idiots and problems. Barely moderated enough and has obnoxious meme spewers and crazy liberals. 4chan has some cool sections and members but is also has its fair share of idiots and problems. Its bad sections and users are extra bad. Really, despite differences in the sites, we still are more alike then we are not.

I hate facepunch, so don't count me in that DinoJesus. Also, cyber bullying is cyber bullying, at least the whole of reddit isn't being sued over this.

4chan is just Facepunch in imageboard format Honestly Reddit is like... internet culture wannabes

[QUOTE=danielplazzy;35542837]4chan is just Facepunch in imageboard format Honestly[/QUOTE] I agree, some bits of 4chan are beyond terrible (/b/), but /tg/ for example is probably the best place to discuss traditional games on the internet, and there are other good boards.

[QUOTE=Last or First;35542768] Reddit only got rid of CP, not because they wanted to, not because it was the right thing to do, but because it was illegal and they were going to have to face legal consequences otherwise.[/QUOTE] Didn't Something Awful cause all this? I bet the jailbait section would still be up if SA didn't do anything.

[QUOTE=DinoJesus;35542805]Why do you guys have to hate any forum that isn't facepunch?[/QUOTE] I think a good way to sum up Reddit is that they love to upvote this because it's so [B]true[/B] [IMG]http://img1.uploadscreenshot.com/images/orig/4/10206092925-orig.png[/IMG] [editline]edit[/editline] or [B]SO hilarious[/B] [IMG]http://img1.uploadscreenshot.com/images/orig/4/10206101553-orig.png[/IMG] "it's funny because it's a novelty/gimmick account and the username matches lol!"

I'm not sure why everybody here hates Reddit I only started to use it recently just for news really. Why does everybody hate it? And what are good alternatives?

I can't stand the word "redditor".

[QUOTE=Over-Run;35542959]I'm not sure why everybody here hates Reddit I only started to use it recently just for news really. Why does everybody hate it? And what are good alternatives?[/QUOTE] People hate it cause it isn't facepunch for the most part

I was never into Reddit. Its a shame to hear about what happened.

Also r/atheism is often a circlejerk of anti-theists who think being atheist means being a relentless pretentious douchebag.

[QUOTE='TheDark[PL];35543064']What a good place to post about that![/QUOTE] "bump" "You know you'r sage, right?" Oh god

no difference with facepunch really. "kill yourself" "that was terrible, hang yourself."

Nobody should take their own life. It's such a stupid thing to do; Everyone has the potential to do anything they want, ending their own life stops any of that potential from growing into something wonderful. Think about it. We sit on a hunk of rock, water, and minerals in the middle of a freezing cold airless void, existing only because circumstances dictate our planet should be a habitable one. Over millions of years, organisms grew here, where on all the other planets in our system, they did not. Over hundreds of millions of years, we grew as a species into humanity. Humanity evolved into civilization, and civilization has now produced the life we live today. Why you would ever want to end such a lucky and amazing existence is just stupid.

[QUOTE=barttool;35542204]What a horrible bitch.[/QUOTE] Probably why it was his ex. Why would he mail such a message to an ex(that obviously hated him) I'll never know.
