Poll of the Day » I hate that reddit has replaced message boards (vent about reddit thread)
I started this thread as a way to show that I appreciate potd and that the masses leaving these types of boards for reddit seemingly was a mistake.

CEers arguing amongst each other in this thread kind of invalidates my initial premise

This signature is not political.
Reddit will always be better than Twitter.

I checked out Reddit once and couldnt figure out how to use it. Way to complicated.

It's better than it seems at first glance, once you figure out how to customize your experience to your liking...but it still has issues with 'upvote farmers,' repost bots, downvote abuse, extreme and unreasonable political biases, and awful moderation of most 'major' subreddits.

It works for what it is, if you cater it to your interests, but I still prefer old-school message board style above it.

I write Naruto Fanfiction. But I am definitely not a furry.
It's also infested with politic threads everywhere, even in subreddits that have nothing to do with politics. I try to only join subs that cater to my preferences, but it doesn't matter because sooner or later I'll open Reddit and my homepage will be nothing but politics.

Reddit killed tightly knitted communities in forums to cram them all into one space and it sucks.
More heat, less foam!
reddit needs like a daily karma cap or some shit, the karma farming is unreal.
So I was standing still at a stationary store...
Its Reddit. Dont expect any quality

they get upset if you even think about going to a place where you'd never see their toxicity

they only lost access to one board here, on reddit, they would get nothing but down voted and have their comments obscured because no one rational would put up with that shit.

Yeah many people don't know what downvoting is actually for. That's not a Reddit issue though since every website with a system like that has that problem.

I always shake my head when I am talking back and forth with someone and they are clearly downvoting my comments every time when I am not downvoting their comments. Downvoting is literally for comments that add nothing to a conversation

They are winning as far as they are concerned. Which means the opposites of course. XD
you haven't set a signature for the message boards yet!
I don't use reddit because I disagree with a lot of the content on there. I do understand they have made strides to better themselves compared to the "Anything Goes" early days, and there is probably great communities of people on there, but there is still a lot of stuff on there that honestly, imo, should be illegal. And I'm not talking about all the OF girls and whatnot. There is literally subreddits dedicated to talking about illegal stuff they find on the darkweb and then sharing it with each other (outside of reddit of course). Yes, exactly the kind of stuff you're thinking. I wish to have no part in a website or community that allows that.

You should see Quora.

The front page is invariably filled with made-up "inspirational" sob stories about utterly improbable scenarios (e.g. cancer patient gets married mere hours before dying) and/or animals (e.g. dog digging its owner's grave and staying in the hole it made), and people just keep falling for them.
