That's a step short on 4chan, with knife and fork required.

sounds like u already an expert

the UI has gotten way worse since i graduated from using overwatched troughslopnet. Man it's ugly.

The most important structural thing about reddit is the upvote-downvote system. it's deliberately designed to reward shilling, vote brigading, and other shady online marketing techniques. There was a time you could see the total ups and downs , now you can see only the balance so manipulation and shadiness go undetected. this was implemented around the time of the CIA torture reports. Allows wrongthink to be drowned out by automated systems which are nominally separated from reddit/conde nast and contracted out by marketing departments, as well as state actors and any moderately sophisticated online shilling shops.

I could write a book on reddit and what makes it so reprehensible but I'm phoneposting. Don't use it. It's not just garbage -- it's a rudimentary version of something unimaginably evil and destructive. This simulated social interaction shit is deadly in a very literal sense, and it's impossible to use it even to troll without feeding the algorithms responsible for generating a convincing virtual reality of "human" posts. Just say no.

the ancient greeks (Socrates et al + Ptolemy) would be proud of the woke in this assessment.

reddit extremely toxic and dangerous. basically the most un-American internet institution, beating out Facebook.

It isn't SO bad if you find some niche subreddits that pique your interests. but if you go through the main ones expecting rational discourse, it's not going to happen.

Reddit is a hive of liberal snowflake PC culture nearly on par with Tumblr.

4 chan is still much better, but it's a shadow of what it once was.

Be like your old uncle Angus. Shitpost on 4chan and get blessed trips

really, really unwoke

4chan is more dangerous than reddit

greater than 98% of the posts you are seeing are not made by humans

don't feed moloch unique text strings dude. don't give moloch's statistical engine feedback as to which virtual realities are most stimulating to your psyche. you clearly do not understand 4chan's function or why it is still bankrolled.
