What do you have against Reddit? No different than Twitter

reddit is Twitter on crack with ten times the incel d-bags trolling. reddit is what happens when a bunch of nerds think Facebook has too many rules.

reddit is Twitter on crack with ten times the incel d-bags trolling. reddit is what happens when a bunch of nerds think Facebook has too many rules.

I haven't spent much time on Twitter but here are my general impressions:

1. They are all awful.
2. Facebook is more American, more flyover, and less interesting. It has women. It's your racist in-laws, not the dude from Sprockets.
3. Twitter is almost entirely devoid of any intelligence, even in tiny niches. It's purely about popularity and high school-level fame whoredom.
4. reddit is insanely diverse, insanely international, and Life's Rich Banquet. The worst people on reddit are worse than anywhere else.

Handy has been hawking that Everyman anti-intellectual brand for years, now. If he can't understand a thing, it's obviously pretentious. Remember: he's not limited; so-called smarter people are just putting one over on us.

This is why I never left Myspace.

Zelenskyy is rightfully reading the UN the riot act, essentially telling them they suck at enforcing their own first point of being a united front.

Tells them to either act like they're united and kick Russia out, or dissolve.

For reference:

When you make yourself dependent(not trade, per se, but dependent on that specific good) on another state, you become that state's bit€h.

See: US and China.

Mookie can say ****, but he can’t say *****? Bee-yotch? Beeech?

Don't see the problem. The member states never voted to let them in in the first place.

It's cute that you both think the one you prefer is good and the one you don't is bad. They're the same, guys. You just need to find the subs on reddit and the sphere of people on twitter. Twitter is more difficult to cultivate but easier to winnow down. Reddit is easier to find stuff but more difficult to remove the garbage.

it really depends on the subreddit. I'm a member of a few localish groups, and it's not bad. Other subreddits are completely full of nutjob neckbeards.

Twitter is fine once you start following feeds that you find interesting and reliable. If you like CNN, or The Economist or whatever (obviously the possibilities are endless) than follow them. Replies aren't intrusive unless you want to dig in. But there's plenty of humor which the world needs more of in 2022 let's face it. And on that note...

The Recount @therecount

Trigger warning: Extremely graphic footage. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy plays a horrifying video for the UN Security Council that shows death and destruction from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Tucker Carlson go **** thyself.

This.




Also, Russian State Media makes it easier for FOX News Viewers to watch, start broadcasting English graphics

It is not smart to be this drunk this early in the day...

If reddit is "intellectual" then this world is well and goodly ****ed. No social media is anything but a bunch of whiny people whining together. reddit is the Joe Rogan of social media. Facebook is the Donald Trump of social media and Twitter is the place people go to ratio everyone even if they have no idea what said person did or said.

But hey, if you want to launder some money or buy some NFTs reddit is a great source!

That is pretty much true of anything...hell I bet you can even find threads of 4Chan that weren't racist Qucumber factories. ;^)

Most SM is good for very basic info and funny memes. The more focused the better, and the smaller the audience the better. A subreddit on a specific type of item or action is alright.

There is a reason why almost all of the crypto scams start with a thread on reddit...

In which part of "they're all awful" did I say reddit was better?

I prefer it, but I know it's just another form of cancer.
