I don't find reddit "silly" in the slightest, but it probably depends on the sub-reedits you follow. I'm following arduino, raspberry_pi, python, R, Prolog, MachineLearning, Clojure, board gaming, gamedesign ... you get the picture. I find the information posted to be extremely useful and illuminating, but it depends on the sub-reedits you follow.
As an aside, I also follow /r/minecraft and my kids love to look at minecraft screenshots and imagine the things we could do in-game. This is probably my most invaluable use of reddit, identifying and commuting with my children :)
- kriro 12y agoI don't use Reddit because I'm scared of adding another potential timesink. However some of those subreddits might interest me. Can you compare the board gaming one to say BGG? What's the Prolog one like in general? I have an AI background and use Prolog (less so these days) and wouldn't mind a "what's happening these days" kind of subreddit. Maybe I should give Reddit a try. In the past I've mostly used irc and specialty forums.
- craigching 12y agoThe Prolog subreddit is really not very active, but for someone just learning it (like me) it's worth checking in once in awhile. And the boardgaming subreddit is not quite as useful as BGG, but it's also worth checking out once in awhile. There are some subreddits that are much more active (like /r/machinelearning) that I checkout daily. It depends on the subject of course ;)
