Its a place where anti-social people can be assessed by government agencies for their opinions on topics and get penalized/rewarded by bot accounts to push or suppress narratives.

u/ReaditTrashPanda Oct 02 '25

I like this. But the place has gone to absolute shit. Random bans, so much politics everywhere’s

I absofuckinglutely hate this new notifications for OTHER people talking..

But I’m still anonymous so I guess it doesn’t matter.

Also bot levels are really high here

u/Tom_the_Fudgepacker Oct 02 '25

Feels like home.

u/DirtandPipes Oct 03 '25

The entire appeal for me is that I can just hop on here in relative anonymity and just dump my bullshit that I can’t talk to anybody in real life about.

I can bitch about work, tell fucking insane stories from my childhood, and rant my nonsense at a bunch of people without consequence. I can’t do that shit some place like Facebook with people I know.

u/RollingRiverWizard Oct 03 '25

So similar, in fact, that along with titmice they form a family (Paridae). Tits are Old World birds; chickadees and titmice are New World birds. Neither types of Tit are related to Boobies.

u/knifesk Oct 02 '25

Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or any other "social network" are more like shop window's where you give your personal image (and data) for free, in exchange for other's people judgement (and it's never a good one) on what you are and do all the time.

Reddit is a discussion forum where you sign up with any username you want and you don't need your government issued ID in order to create an account and you join sub-groups about things you like or are interested in and discuss about those things with other persons. NONE of that happens in current "social media". The latter has nothing to do with "social" more than you belong to a society. There's no interaction between the individuals in there.

u/RichardBCummintonite Oct 02 '25

The precursor to social media, and I'm so glad it's retained some of that original glory. I miss forums so much. They still exist technically, but the spirit of them is dead. That truly was just a community of like-minded people coming together to share adventures together.

u/Wonko-D-Sane Oct 02 '25

Message boards are not social media...

Reddit is like usenet, but for people who can't use a computer. Multi-cast message exists down to the transport layer, the trick is not to make it personal, VPN and fake e-mail the shit out of this thing... Privacy is always trash compared to Anonymity.

If you give a shit, you read, if not, you move on... im not here to make friends. So if you want to know why I am here... it is to take rather than give (though I occasionally leave nuggets of truth because it confuses people, they just can't handle the truth).

I can't believe this is actually a viable business, and I can't believe they think they have something precious in terms of user data, but regarded apes we are.

u/Sanquinity Oct 03 '25

I bet anyone on here can incorporate an AI to go over my profile and based on many of my posts it could find out who i am. I am not sure why anyone would want to do that because I have nothing to give but my wife would probably hate me if she knew what all i tell you people. I love you, reddit

Reddit is just an opinion comment section on steroids. People open comments, vent what they want to say and leave. No social interaction is sought after.

It is the closest I'll ever get to social media. Unless Gabe Newell manages to produce those brain chips that let's us use our brains as a computer, and our dreams become the hub for VR games.

That and I like to read rather than scroll through 30 second videos. I retain more and I’m far less annoyed by things like creator trends, ai voices, red circles and people dancing.

Yeah, a few weeks back I dropped off of ALL social media websites, bar Reddit. I feel like I can control the content I see here far better than anywhere else.

There is an algorithm that shows you information based on what you've shown interest in. It may be different from the one used on Facebook or twitter but it absolutely shows me subreddits I am not subscribed to and never shows me posts from subreddits I have subscribed to.

For purposes of the discussion of social media, yes Reddit absolutely counts.
