I didn't realize there was such hate...

Did I start a flame war or something?

Naw, people are just being passive aggressive bandwagon jumpers. Reddit's one of the cool places to hate :)

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

How naive. You should realize that in general all large internet communities hate all other internet communities.

Reddit is not a "cool place to hate", the community there is legitimately terrible. I have been on Reddit, I have seen Reddit, and let me tell you senator, I have seen some shit on Reddit.

Plus half the community focuses upon going over the same in-jokes over and over again and being as uncreative as possible while demanding that you make them feel good. It's a lot more of a hugbox place than you'd imagine at first glance.

Even Reddit realizes how terrible Reddit is, and they don't care. They revel in their own filth.

Haha! WHERE IS YOUR [NONEXISTENT DEITY] NOW, R/ATHEISM!

Hmm. Reddit.com appears to be working fine currently here, although I only opened it and then closed it because I am not terrible and do not reddit or whatever the verb is. :V

The biggest circlejerk on reddit is about how much of a circlejerk it is. Personally I prefer to circlejerk about the circlejerk about how much of a circlejerk reddit is. I'm meta.

Personally if we could take 4chan and format it like reddit that would be the best way to do it.

Except I'm pretty sure that /b/ loathes reddit more than any other community online. Or was it 4chan in general? I forget.

If you took 4chan and made it worse you'd get Reddit.

I'd say that 4chan is better than Reddit. 4chan is occasionally creative.

Yes, reddit has some solid WTF posts, but reddit really is nothing compared to 4chan. And yes, 4chan hates reddit.

4chan isn't full of itself, so it is much more entertaining.

You know there are sections of reddit other than /r/atheism, /r/politics, and /r/ragecomics (or whatever it is), right?

I mean, /r/news and /r/worldnews have, like, news, for instance.

This sounds an awful lot like a certain place I know actually. I think we're all familiar with it.

That stuff mostly stays in the upper forums these days. Down here we just all yell at each other and argue about anything which it is possible to argue about.

MSH, judging reddit by those subreddits is like judging 4chan by /b/.
