Why would you want Usenet to be like reddit? Reddit is awful.
99% of posts are a desperate grab for attention. Every comment is one of:
- a smug, know it all response by someone who thinks they are an expert in some field rather than a loser who spends their day on reddit
- an attempt to be witty
- some reddit saying that gets repeated over and over ("man got that dawg in him" and so on)
- EGreg 3y agoIt is also a bunch of teenagers just saying one liners
- jandrese 3y agoAnd this differs from Usenet how? I guess you can argue that the Karma system is counterproductive and leads to Karma farming, even though Karma is explicitly worthless. But I think attention seeking is going to happen no matter what the platform is.
- slothtrop 3y agoThis was part of the forum and usenet experience long before reddit.
