Reddit is a good way of knowing

  Reddit is just another segregated community, it is one that just somehow attracts the type who perplexingly think they can understand and speak for everyone.

    Reddit has a structure that's uniquely suited to capturing the whole of the internet. There is no mirror of Reddit here, but there is /r/HackerNews and /r/TheAtlantic. And while I'm pretty active on Reddit, the "most popular" posts on Reddit are as alien to me as the "most popular" TikTok videos mentioned in the article.

    The best description of Reddit that I've ever read: > [maladjusted 19 year old desperate to prove that he is smarter than his parents](http://np.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/ihk09/iama_cuban_who_lived_though_his_childhood_and/c23u4gq?context=3 http://np.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/ihk09/iama_cuban_who_li...) Bonus: > On 4chan, smart people pretend to be stupid. On Reddit, stupid people pretend to be smart.

  Reddit is a good way to know what is happening on Reddit, but this feeds into the point. there are lots of things happening online but off reddit, and also lots of people that actively don't care what is happening on Reddit.

  I know of so many communities that are banned from reddit and that had to move to other hosts...
