- adriand 13y ago> I feel like it used to be a much higher standard, but is quickly becoming the new 4chan... I joined Reddit seven years ago (http://www.reddit.com/user/adrian/ http://www.reddit.com/user/adrian/) and I started finding it stupid and annoying approximately five years ago. Until this story got posted I can't even remember the last time I bothered logging in. It's terrible.
- cupcake-unicorn 13y agoGlad it's not just me. I never even really got into it back in the day, but at least I wasn't wary of it, and now it's just...wow. I made the mistake of checking out my local city's reddit IRC channel and was greeted "hey faggot lol" or something like that O_O
- starky 13y agoI definitely agree that the standard of the comments and articles used to be significantly higher. I definitely see a lot of parallels between the comments on HN currently and those on Reddit 5-6 years ago. Luckily it seems like HN resists the negative change that happened (I saw it most when Imgur was created).
- noselasd 13y agoThe trick is to just subscribe to the sub-reddits that interests you, and is not filled with drama or useless stuff and people. e.g. steer away from r/news, r/worldnews, r/pics, r/politics and similar. Subscribe to the more specialized topics that interests you.
