Reddit is a case study in why post rating systems ruin message boards.

It can be argued otherwise just by popularity and the money gotten from that.

Yeah it turns out people like going to places that support their opinion while quashing any real dissent. Doesn't make for great discussion on a message board.

And again, that's up to where you go. Where I go, I see plenty of interesting discussion and what people ITT keep complaining about isn't the norm.

The guy down the street from me has about half a dozen llamas. They are not something to be intimidated by tbh.

He also has a couple asses and horses.

I dislike the way the comments are for discussion. It's a fantastic content aggregator and I use it strictly for browsing. If I actually want to talk to people, I come here.

Exactly. Ask about any site on any other site other than it and they'll say the community sucks or it's terrible in general. Then they'll put in some self deprecating comment about their own site. So everything sucks

Yeah. I basically lurk reddit. Always seem to be late to topics of intetest anyway so feels like just talking to no-one often as well.

Still fun to read.

You know, FB is the same exact way. So often I see people whining about such-and-such on their wall and how they see it a lot. It makes no sense when they directly control who they friend/follow and what they see.

Yes and no

Facebook is mainly for your friends and you can control what friends are on their

Twitter and Reddit are for your interest mainly so it's a more solid representation of who you are and since people rarely follow people they know in real life your enjoyment is almost entirely based on finding like minded people

I've thought about it a lot, but discussion is still easier on here. Then again I also haven't really tried to have much game discussion on Reddit, but still. My Trails topic is a good example of how I like to talk about games. I can go on the Trails sub and talk about it, sure, but another part of my topic was to hopefully garner interest in the franchise.

It's just a terrible place to discuss anything.

The posting system sucks so that's a huge red flag. Then there's the upvoting/downvoting system which is the final nail in the coffin for me. What's worst about it though is that it's a liberal haven, and the Reddit admin has been caught changing people's posts... Fuck that shit.

That other site is waaaay better in every conceivable way except automatic thread deletions after a while. It has no censorship, no cuck mods or admins changing your posts, literally anything except actual illegal activities are allowed.

I don't like the layout (having to constantly click to load more comments) and the general circle jerk nature of every discussion. Also comments are always full of obnoxious attempts at humor just so they will get up votes. It's a pretty terrible site, only worth using when interesting people do AMAs.

Oh, I haven't heard of that site before so I was confused. At first I thought he was referring to 4chan, but then that site's name has been said on here before so I didn't know why he'd be ambiguous about it lol.

Wait what? No, I was talking about that site.. what the fuck is Voat?

Googles*

Hmm, claims to have no censorship eh? Nice... I may have to at least give this site a try. Looks like a reddit clone with the same posting system though... that's not good. Looks like it even has the downvote/upvote system....

Not for me... but it's already better than Reddit so it has that going for it.

Is there even a difference? I just always assumed two names for the same thing.

They're different species, just cousins. Llamas, their fur is coarse. Ears are much longer and curve. Much larger (~400lbs as opposed to alpacas at 150lbs). They serve as pack animals and they can also guard other animal packs, as they're braver than alpacas.

Alpacas have super soft, wonderful fleece, they're really skittish and timid and need protection. They're more intelligent and can do tricks. And they have shorter, straight ears.
