reddit is inhabited by the world's biggest losers
- impossiblefork 2y agoOnly the moderators of the big subreddits. The users that aren't bots are largely reasonably normal people.
- jimbob45 2y agoYeah, there's sort of a bell curve to the ideal reddits where everything in the middle is totally serviceable. However, too small and the mods become overwhelmed and have to overban/overmod to keep up. Too large and the mods get powerhungry and ban in accordance with their own political values.
- impossiblefork 2y agoYes, although I think the latter is carefully organised, probably by well-funded groups. E.g. /r/worldnews have 36 million subscribers, and I think it has more influence than even big newspapers, and this is controlled by anonymous moderators, who for all we know can be a team working for the same organisation.
- phone8675309 2y agoHey, Stack Overflow is pretty high up there now
- threeseed 2y agoX for me takes the crown these days. Dominated by crypto grifters, Musk sycophants and engagement farmers. At least Reddit isolated those to certain subreddits.
- stiltzkin 2y agoReddit is highly censored and can get you banned easily unlike X.
