  Some of the subreddits aren't so bad--the programming one and the lisp one are two that come to mind[

    Seriously? I have to go to the womens fashion subreddit to get away from the arbitrary fad-like groupthink on programming.reddit.

        So true. Redditors seem to take a certain pride in being uneducated. Better to spend months reinventing a square wheel poorly than to Google a bit and find a paper on how to design round wheels.

          I take issue with the "So true" statement. It's either true or false, not a degree of true or false. That would be fuzzy logic or something and that's just bullshit.

            English has idioms. "So true" tends to mean "I agree".

      Not that it is all that great, but filtering through it i do find things of interest. Women's fashion subreddit? I had no idea.

  The IamA subreddit is developing an interesting culture. There are some issues of people faking, but in general it shows an interesting cross-section of life in a very addicting and supportive way.
