[QUOTE=proboardslol;45918948]Reddit's upvote/downvote based system, with the highest rated comments on top, sort of encourages the famous reddit hivemind. Forums with a chronologically sorted posting system (facepunch, 4chan) encourage dissenting opinions and discussion more than reddit does.
Though 4chan isn't where I'd go for real discussion. It's hard to tell what isn't an ironic anti-Semitic swipe, and what a real anti-Semitic swipe is. I prefer facepunch.[/QUOTE]
except facepunch has ratings, which even if you can disable most don't and it affects posting negatively
[QUOTE=tempunary;45919984]That's disgusting.[/QUOTE]
Not surprising, it has a lot of good subreddits there, and you can spend hours browsing it sometimes. The horribly awful subreddits wont change that. The frontpage can be a fucking mess though.

I had to check and see if the cutedeadgirls thing was real and I wish I hadn't. What the fuck is wrong with people? The thing is, they think it's acceptable enough to have their own publicly available subreddit. I was about to say you don't see killers, rapists and meth addicts posting about what they do on reddit but I'd probably be wrong.
You know, I spend a bit of time on Reddit, and I've found it's a lot more tolerable if you turn off all the defaults and just pick and choose based on what you want to see. I never see any of this crap, since the site just aggregates things that are relevant to my interests.
Yeah, all the stuff like /r/rapingwomen, /r/candidfashionpolice, etc are absolutely deplorable, and I definitely think the admins should have a backbone, but at the same time I honestly don't really care, since I never see any of that.
And, to be entirely fair to all parties involved, most of these big internet communities aren't much better. 4Chan, SomethingAwful, even Facepunch on occasion have these really, really crappy communities spawn. Heck, we've got the Dragon Fetishist thread, and all the mod corruption and bullshit around that, don't we?
It just depends on how you use the site. Just like we don't judge the entire content of Facepunch by Fast Threads, the Rust subforum, or OIFY, I don't think we should judge the entire content of Reddit based on these awful, ultra-niche subreddits that just happen to be incredibly eye-catching in news headlines.
That said, the moderator corruption and hypocrisy's terrible, but I literally had no idea this was going on until I came here. That's how well my little echo chamber works.

Thats hardly even comparable to a board for pictures of dead children and a board about laughing at rape victims.

no those sites are not nearly as bad as Reddit. All three of those sites would never tolerate a dead kids beastiality rape instructions board/forum

Not if its using a proprietary format or some shit. Using IceWeasel on Debian.

I had no idea Reddit was so corrupt because I mostly just hang out in niche subreddits. I just bought a year of gold, too. Welp.

Reddit Gold is so useless though.
Edit: Then again I bought Gold Member on FP so I shouldn't be one to talk
[QUOTE=Swiket;45920501]Reddit Gold is so useless though.[/QUOTE]
I actually like it. The remembering links across computers, comment highlighting, and increase in comments per page are all convenient. I also thought it would be a good thing to support a website I use frequently.

The ability to filter saved posts by subreddit is indispensable.
I don't know why people are so surprised about this. Anything mainstream is censored.
[QUOTE=Ezhik;45919053]Reddit admins are seriously not involved enough in the community. It's a big problem.[/QUOTE]
Maybe the admins should take the same attitude with the moderators that the moderators take with their users.

This exists, but should you dare argue feminism, or god forbid post nekkid celebrities
The site is run by fucking pedo creeps.
I also forgot to mention, this is one of the creepy circle jerk subreddits. There are hundreds, if not thousands more.[/QUOTE]
iirc picsofdeadkids and a few other offensive subreddits like that were created by SA
It's ridiculously dumb that shadow bans are even a thing at all.
Hi everyone Reddit is an online forum that promotes free speech except we can delete comments and ban people both without any reason enjoy your stay

lol you don't think garry has the ability to shadowban?
[QUOTE=tempunary;45919984]That's disgusting.[/QUOTE]
What's disgusting is that the founder of Reddit pretty much died for the cause of making information available.
[QUOTE=waxrock;45921938]lol you don't think garry has the ability to shadowban?[/QUOTE]
Every Reddit admin and mod has the ability to shadow ban and that's like the only bans ever being handed out. I've seen Garry publicly ban people and I'm pretty sure no mods can shadow ban plus banned people here can plea their case.
[QUOTE=waxrock;45921938]lol you don't think garry has the ability to shadowban?[/QUOTE]
Never heard of Facepunch using shadowbans, honestly.
Before you say "That's the Point" I find it unlikely that we wouldn't know about the practice at all.
[QUOTE=DuCT;45919860]Yes, but SRS goes out of the way to make problems with other subreddits. Those listed (while bad) tend to stay in their own community.[/QUOTE]
welll, not openly. There's no open agitation from SRS and honestly most of the claimed shit is conspiracy BS, which SRS wears as a badge of pride at just how silly and stupid anti-SRSers can be.
But I mean, let's all just cry our tears as SRS points out the pedophilia, racism, sexism, and classism that's relatively rampant in the default subs and the obvious posted above. boo hoo they break the rules im sorry that your magic internet points are being fucked with now how are you going to find the truly best pics of dead children to masturbate over?
They don't "tend" to stay in their own- SRS and feminism and feminisms get brigaded on a fairly regular basis b TRP and MRA and Great Apes (in fact, SRS just posted recently how Great Apes was openly brigading pro-women of color subs with votes and racist comments, which ridiculously got one of the moderators of that sub banned instead of any of the brigaders).
but yea the sub whose primary purpose it is to pressure reddit into getting rid of its disgusting fucking support for disgusting things is the problem
