I would love to hear more about how Reddit is user hostile, though I have a few thoughts:
- Inconsistent, biased, and downright arrogant moderation.
- Communities drenched in extremism and horrendous discourse. Interacting with a Redditor is like trying to hug a porcupine
- Rampant trolling, even in the best communities.
Also, as a side note was getting sick of all the health and fitness cults. I got fed up getting banned for arguments with someone insulting me because I suggested that consuming massive amounts of fat might have negative health consequences, or that deadlifts are a frequent source of injury, both severe and chronic, or that peanut butter is actually one of the purest foods you can buy (seriously, read the label, it's almost entirely peanuts and salt)...
It got so frustrating. I understand that there's counter arguments to this stuff, but these are very mainstream and rational beliefs, including with people that know what they're talking about. It seemed like the safer advise was being shouted down.
- djbusby 4y agoWell, I'm not even talking about the community. I'm pointing at the tech, like, nagging for the App, please sign in, crappy video player, please sign in, random scrolling, random page reload, try our App!
- P_I_Staker 4y agoOh yeah, it's a dumpster fire. Also, did they really kill RPAN? I don't think that's a good idea, unless they were REALLY desperate for cuts, even if it wasn't very popular. I actually thought it filled a niche that is slightly different from what I find on twitch, youtube, facebook, ect. I found a lot of videos of random people just doing random things. I do happen to think the community may have lost it's way... OTH the era that some people see as the golden age of reddit included stuff like the fappening.
