experience of reddit

Post Reply New Topic

They are pretty critical of my posts. I asked a question about a character on a show and I got replys like "have you even watched the show?" Yes I did but I missed something due to aspergers. I've had simple questions being deleted for being a simple question. I've made a title and the content a youtube video because I thought it was funny but the mods said it was too low investment. I'm expected to write a well written review of why I didn't like a video game instead of just stating how I felt about it.

reddit is packed with and dominated by cruel and selfish left-wingers that care about nothing and no one but their tribe's ideology. They do not believe in freedom of speech and do not like people, including you and me. They believe that people that do not subscribe to all of their beliefs should be silenced and possibly banned. They think that God is an anachronism good only for jokes, that America is terrible, and that police are bad.

I take long vacations from it myself but still use it occasionally, because I like the system better than facebook. The joint has its uses for technical questions, but more and more I find that ChatGPT is better than spending time on reddit.

Redditt is a real echo chamber of very toxic human beings. If you avoid any subreddit on it that has anything to do with gender, politics, religion, fandom, and basically anything where someone might have a different opinion, then you might be reasonably safe.

Also redditors tend to believe women, people over the age of 25, and people from countries outside the US don't exist. If you tell them you're not from the US, they say something such as "Reddit is an American website and the majority of people on it are American and bla bla bla" So that must mean we don't exist.

Yeah, for me, it depends on the subreddit. I had some horrible experiences on certain ones while others I frequented were okay.

Never really used it it's not my scene

When I first discovered Reddit, it became my replacement for Quora. I liked how you can look up useful information or peoples' experiences/reviews on a niche subject matter. Also, it's the few social media sites that have that old-school forum UI.

However, my experience hasn't been swell either. I one time made an account just to solely search for a obscure lost commercial and the only comment on my thread was from snarky skeptic that for sure was a karma farming account.

Even as a lurker, Reddit took a toll on my mental health. From my personal experience, it seems any sub is going to have a landmine. It's pretty much a softcore 4Chan. As a plus size lady, it's so prevalent to see misogyny and fataphobia on the platform.

I've been trying to find ways to weed out Reddit in the search results. One way is to type the prompt "-site:reddit.com." However, you have to constantly type that in which is infuriating. On mobile anyways. Doesn't help that Google's algorithm favors these popular social media sites.

Maybe I might end up switching to a different search engine just to curb my addiction...
