Half the subs are ran or moderated by biased assholes. Typical of today's world, if you say something they don't agree with your comments are deleted, down voted, or account banned. It's really worse than Twitter was as far as censorship. Then half the subs have no mods listed or way to contact to even question.
Just a bunch of people who agree with each other revolving in their own little world and banning those that disagree.
Only half the subs?
Agreeing with PurpleHoneycomb, it's only really good for entertainment, and maybe some Looking For Group-type stuff. Anything else, even if it's not political, runs into the "assimilate into the Borg or be deleted" problem. I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say the entirety of Reddit is one big circlejerk.
Reddit is okay for certain things. Primarily ones that aren't actually about important topics.
I like to use it for gaming subreddits, art subreddits, subreddits dedicated to specific TV shows...Stuff that pertains to my interests. I would never use it for political stuff or advice. My opinions would likely *align* with the people in charge of many subreddits, but I just don't care.
I've used Reddit to hire a handful of artists. It has uses.
I mean people do die, and an increase on those who are assholes would certainly help societally.
Reddit mods are also proportionately less important to a functional society, so yeah, if they all suddenly dropped dead it would be a net benefit.
I dont think ospry had the intention of being a assassin a killing said reddit mods.
Not only don't use, but run a campaign against it.
Sites like reddit are destroying our society by censoring view points that they disagree with they create a false world. A world where you think 90% of the world agrees with you and any that disagree are wrong and should be shunned. Creating a bigger division between left and right and killing the open exchange of ideas. It's propaganda, brainwashing, manipulation, and indoctrination. Especially knowing certain age groups don't get their information from other sources.
Oh that website is awful. Some friends of mine created an alternative to it. But last time I checked, that site was a negativity time-sink as well.
I think it's down to human nature. You start a website for voicing opinions and debate, ...and people start getting emotional and being mean to each other. Rational thought has left the chat.
Reddit is only useful if you need some quick advice for some specific thing related to hobbies gaming fandom or science. Just stay away from all the other subreddits like relationship advice and askmen and so on. Am I the asshole can be a funny subreddit to read through sometimes. I don't recommend engaging in any discussion.
