I think it's funny that reddit is the go-to example of an internet shithole, instead of something like 4chan.
- SadWebDeveloper 11y ago4chan is a shithole without a visible record... reddit on the other hand not only has a record it has meritocratic system aka karma that promotes harassment and internet trolling "just for the lulz and karma"
- gedrap 11y agoIt's probably just that more people have heard of reddit and can easier relate to rather than 4chan. Although it's probably unfair - I am using reddit for a few years and they have tons of amazing communities and le reddit army (swatters, Boston bombers, etc) are amazingly easy to miss unless you're looking for them.
- clentaminator 11y agoI think it's funny that both of those sites seems to get represented by a more vocal and publicly visible subset of their users, and in 4chan's case by a slightly unfair-seeming set of associations between anyone using the term "Anonymous" (despite the fact that Anonymous is simply a name that one can take up without it implying any real link to a group), the one board out of many that is apparently implicated in anything "Anonymous" does, and the site as a whole.
