Have you actually /been/ to reddit in the last year? The idea that anything of value is created by this raging mob of hateful teenagers with too much free time

Have you actually /been/ to reddit in the last year? The idea that anything of value is created by this raging mob of hateful teenagers with too much free time is laughable.
FFS, they've just spent a month riling each other up about a Clinton/Podesta pedophile ring operating out of an italian restaurant. That may be "challenging" for some of them (because letters etc.), but it's not the stuff the next breakthrough in physics will be based on.
- Joeboy 10y agoI don't know anything about this Italian restaurant thing, probably because I spend time on Reddit and not wherever you learned about it.
- gtaylor 10y agoCan you further define "they"? Reddit has hundreds of thousands of communities in it. It seems like you are generalizing the actions of a tiny subset to the whole user base.
- matt4077 10y agoI was speaking about the part of the community that would be affected by "censorship", as should be obvious from context, i. e. the post I was replying to. Nobody is talking about /r/askahistorian
- Joeboy 10y agoNo, that wasn't at all obvious. If what you're saying is that the bad parts of reddit are bad then I agree with you.
