I hate Reddit mostly for its hive mind.
For example: There is a video of someone blasting music and neighbor clearly being upset. The offender calls the lady Karen. Then, all the comments are bashing so called "Karen". Even though many places in the US have laws in place to prevent people from blasting music all day. Stating this brings many down votes.
I had an awful neighbor in an area where houses are close apart. He would get wasted, cut grass with a lawnmower and blast music out of his car, which he could not hear because of lawn mower. My windows would shake when I was trying to study.
- ferrumfist 5y agoReddit is an amazing platform for niche hobbies and tech forums. It is fucking terrible for its political news. It's so clearly biased AND it leaks into every default subreddit.
- speedybird 5y ago> Reddit is an amazing platform for niche hobbies and tech forums. I tried this for a while but the flagrant low-effort karma farming even on those subreddits drove me away. The last subreddit I still read towards the end was r/skookum. It was in interesting community for a while; a lot of neat heavy industry stuff. But I had to quit after seeing about ten thousand "look I found a wrench that says skookum on it, give me uptoots xD" posts.
- pedroma 5y agoYou're on the wrong website if you're trying to avoid karma farming.

- stevecalifornia 5y agoI sometimes feel alone when I go to Reddit and have the same disgusted feeling you do-- and it's because all the dissenting opinions are downvoted and deleted. With that kind of moderation, how is there any other outcome other than a loud, obnoxious hive-mind? It bothers me because perhaps the younger generation will grow up in Reddit thinking that this hive-mind is normal and healthy.
- crocodiletears 5y agoI think many will, but many others won't. There are a lot of spaces online, especially on Discord and at one point in Facebook groups where Reddit is regarded as if it were a digital North Korea.
