Thank you for your feedback. I'm considering leaving it too. Reddit has become too popular and too prone to manipulation at this point. I found people often hold back what they want to say, in order to appear as politically correct for karma points. The moment someone has the courage or authenticity to speak up their mind they'll get downvoted to oblivion. Lucky I'll always have HN and Slashdot to visit instead.
- prolikewh0a 8y agoI find Reddit to be on the level of 4chan now. Not in the rude/vulgar/disgusting way, but in how low quality its content and users are. It's totally unbearable unless like I said you are in select niche curated hobby subreddits. The highly public subreddits are disasters of political correctness and 60's-like red scare propaganda blaming Russia on everything. Today I peeked at the hurricane forums and saw people blaming Hurricane Florence on Russian-made propaganda. WTF? People don't communicate in a natural way on Reddit anymore. It's certainly changed enormously since I got there 6-8 years ago. Hacker News is infinitely higher quality than Reddit at this point, and I'm glad I came here. It changed a lot about how I see others on the internet and how I debate, all in a beneficial and positive way.
