What do you think of the reddit algorithm changes?
>>55121293
What algorithm?
>>55121293
nice try /pol/
>>55121293
Reminder that if you don't browse reddit you're simply blocking out a large source of worthwhile information and have nothing to be proud of.
>>55121431
What "worthwhile" information?
>>55121441
Almost any interest has a subreddit with real world experts in it. Not to mention a lot more posted relevant news when compared to somewhere like here.
>>55121456
Simply ebin friend!
>>55121431
The information is accessible by googling.
That's the only time I get to reddit.

Yes, Reddit is much better. Maybe you should stay on Reddit and never come back here again?
>>55122131
Maybe you should back off?!

Also important is that Reddit is open source, unlike 4chan.
>>55122131
4chan = smart people acting dumb
Reddit = dumb people acting smart
>>55122160
And Reddit mods are transparent and publically known. Unlike

They're also powertripping attentionwhores that set up rules for everyone only to break them themselves constantly. Like all the mods from old forums.
I really prefer 4chan mods and the fact that I don't have to know who they are over that.
>>55121539
Imageboards are shit anyway. Anonymous forums with automatic, periodic cleanups is where it's at.

Mostly trash, but some okay posts. They typically just give vague pointers and non-specific information unless you're making another monolithic UNIX-clone on x86.

Nah, 4chan is filled with the same stupid as reddit. It's just that on 4chan no-one pretends to be particularly smart and those who do are typically tripfags.
>>55121431
True, as long as you don't participate in the community and never post, reddit is a pretty good place. Meanwhile 4chins is just play shitposting everywhere 24/7.

>>55121370
Without getting very technical, Reddit admins have been actively trying to censor /r/The_Donald. They are a /pol/-centric group that oversaturate /r/all with Hillary Clinton kissing KKK-man memes. It also boosted the reach of pro-Hillary subreddits such as /r/EnoughTrumpSpam. I'm not a fan of censorship, but most tech companies are fairly liberal, so you can't really get upset by it.
>read about something on reddit
>unpopular opinions are hidden
>random posts with unfunny 10 year old memes everywhere
>posters actually mentioning that they copied their post fro someone else because they want karma

Literally the opposite of free speech and 4chan
The funniest thing about redditors is that they really believe everyone here visits their crappy web site.
>>55127710
>Unpopular opinions are hidden.
That's kind of the point. People who are off-topic, posting hate speech, etc. don't even get to see the light of day.
>>55127737
Are you implying that unpopular opinions are always bad and that the crowd mentality is always right? Then fuck off to reddit, 4chan is not for you
>>55125552
>People actually think this is real
>These same people are mocking the intelligence of other people
>Scientific "facts" can't be argued with
Yup sounds like Reddit.
>>55127760
Unpopular opinions are not ALWAYS bad, but if you actually go peruse through a random Reddit through you will see that stuff that gets hidden by downvotes is nearly always complete nonsense. It's a fair compromise. You can see quality content that people upvote, and maybe once a month you'll miss out on good information that was downvoted. Whereas here on 4chan, most of the things are meme-themed.
I only browse reddit for the resources on the subreddit sidebars.

I like how you redditfags get so upset when someone points out that your behavior is redditlike and you get upset
Fuck off to reddit
>>55127941
That's not a problem unique to Reddit. You can't demonize an entire website because one subreddit had incompetent and biased moderators.
>>55127987
Except people on reddit are smarter. You should be happy they keep 4chan from becoming completely irrelevant.
>>55128034
>>55128010
What's the difference between wading through all the shitposts on 4chan and other imageboards, and wading through all the shit subreddits on that place? And the good subs you find are probably irrelevant.
Why don't you just go to a good site instead of a shit site with a 1% good part.
>>55127986
4chan = kiddies and underage b&
Reddit = kiddies and underage b&
>>55127737
>People who are off-topic, posting hate speech, etc. don't even get to see the light of day.
that's not the point though, downvoted posts almost exclusively boil down to "someone disagreed with me" resulting in post hidden because of herd mentality, it's common as shit for a post to be downvoted to the point it's hidden until someone with some common sense links it on another subreddit and a brigade comes until it's upvoted again -- ever see "edit: why the downvotes?" on an upvoted post? now you know why
you just need to look at how karma is handled to realise how the reddit meta works, the reddiquette or whatever the fuck they call it explicitly mention that downvotes should be used for posts that are either off-topic or breaking the rules or the like and should not be downvoted just because you disagree with it, yet up/downvotes are used exclusively as "I like this" and "I don't like this" buttons which is why as others have mentioned shitty memes that have been beaten to death constantly make the top posts in every thread
sure, sometimes posts that legitimately deserve to be hidden by default are completely off-topic, hate speech, nonsense, etc, but equally posts that people just disagree with are hidden or sent to the bottom forcing posts that appeal to the lowest common denominator to the top
>>55128047
I'm subscribed to somewhere between 50-100 high quality subreddits. Most of my friends referred me to them, so I didn't really have to wade through anything.
>went to the 4chan subreddit
>full with /r9k/ unfunny memes
>all posts are just screenshots of "funny" shitpost 4chan threads made by the redditards themselves
>"anon does X"
>>55128071
This is a fair well constructed argument. I might have changed my mind about Reddit.

they made the trump forum's votes count for less, and the anti trump forums votes count for more

fucking THIS
im so sick of the "smaller subs are good" maymay. it's like saying detroit doesn't suck because you frequent the only good restaurant in town.
no, detroit still sucks. move somewhere else.
it literally changed nothing except getting the trump subreddit off the front page. its back to how it was before trump took over. there was obviously no algorithm change, except maybe to add specific cases for the trump subreddit.

What are some good subreddits
>>55128423
They're being imported to rural areas without the states being notified. If you're in the city you're probably safe for now.
>>55128476
I think I'm alright here in Florida. Our people have accepted the Guatemalans and Cubans, but I can't imagine them taking in Syrians. It's kind of nice living around bigots, so you can be a good person and get stuff done.

/r/OddlySatisfying
/r/SweatyPalms
/r/politics
Daily reminder that the /v/ cancer that is killing /g/ comes from Reddit.
>>55121511
/r/AskHistorians is fucking amazing
/r/AMA is hit or miss

>>55128972
That was a troll post, bro.
>>55128274
Incorrect. /r/all has way more diversity of subreddits now. I'm seeing way less memes are more actual content and discussions.
>>55121507
this
it's just another forum that sometimes has information I need, but that's not the same as going there
>>55122349
This hasn't been true for at LEAST the last 3 or 4 years since 4chan has gone from imageboard to redditumblr9gag playground.
>>55129030
Going to second AskHistorians.
Mods just absolutely shit on all the modern day internet faggotry and actually want good discussion. They allow jokes here and there but if that shit gets out of hand they do their jobs and told everyone that complained about it to fuck off to the other subreddits.
>>55121293
Weren't the creators and owners of Reddit bragging about how it's a bastion of free speech up to 2015, and then they made a full u-turn around the time that the whole Ellen Pao fiasco happened?
Now every time I hear about Reddit, it has to do with the mods and administration being fascists or something.
>>55129477
why would anyone directly go to that retarded place
wtf my up and downvotes aren't registered anymore on reddit
>>55129808
I honestly go out of my way to find information that is not on Reddit to be honest. There are far more competent forums out there, and most of them are more willing to share how they did something instead of using it to whore for attention.
Also, Reddit is filled with moralfags and buyfags, so the information there is often useless for my purposes.
>>55129895
>moralfags
I just came across some of these gems yesterday :^)
>>55129895
>There are far more competent forums out there
honestly dude, what's your definition of competence in the context of a forum?
4chan has its head so far up its ass that sometimes i think you guys just throw bullshit words together to stroke your own dicks. reddit is marginally worse than 4chan, but if someone links you to something on reddit and you skim the comments, you're not going to get cancer or something.
the "danger", such that there is a bogeyman in the oh-so-dangerous world of being a worthless shut-in who spends all his time posting shitty comments on one website or another, is sinking your time *writing* posts. if you're posting a shitload on reddit and buying into the karma/gold/whatever shit, then yeah, maybe an argument can be made that you're a shittier person. but actively avoiding reddit threads? what are you, afraid of the cooties?
>>55130024
>honestly dude, what's your definition of competence in the context of a forum?
What I mean by competence is how fast I will find an answer from a forum, and how detailed this answer is. For example, forum.thinkpads.com is far more competent than r/thinkpads. Audiokarma is far more competent than r/vintage audio or whatever. Reddit will often tell me to buy some Expensive OEM part when a generic part will suffice.
