They make you worry about getting downvoted so you'll say things that will get upvoted, and that stops the users from having their own thoughts and promotes a hivemind. It's truly horrific, and I fear greatly for the children's futures because man they're not right in the head.

Nobody who matters cares about the score itself. But the problem is that the score determines which comments are shown and which are hidden. Also, redditors who see that a comment has been highly downvoted tend to assume it's a wrong/bad comment without giving it much thought. The whole environment breeds groupthink.

I mean, it's not the only reason, but the boards I have encountered on Reddit so far haven't had any holocaust deniers, which is more than I can say for this board.

I generally see more in depth, mature discussion on Reddit. If you act like a dickhead you'll probably just get downvoted and your comment hidden, which cleans up the trash you'd otherwise have to read

Just say what you want to say. You have to be trying to be an idiot to have your post be downvoted enough that it drops below the threshold. If that's happening to you all the time then you can always just try not being a shitty person.

The memes are generally more funny too and reposts are often spotted right away

Someone copied a YouTuber for karma whoring on the Rainbow Six subreddit and the comments quickly 180'd when he admitted it

I mean, seriously. I came back to GameFAQs recently, used to come here in the old days. And then I went to LUELinks but that place sucked and I just couldn't find any other good message boards worth posting at. Not that I tried many, but I hate anonymity and think that a message board should be a digital community like a real community so that when we think about our internet use we understand it's just people talking together and doing things and like, building businesses together, using this platform to build our lives.

I've been going to Reddit for years off and on but since I got a publishing deal I've been on my computer more and I just don't know what the new internet's like. And old social media is changing too. Like, there are posts I made on Facebook a year ago that would get me banned today. It's very weird how many times I've been suspended for posting about how slavery is bad because it was critical of Arabs. I don't see how it could be construed as Islamophobia when most Muslims aren't Arabs.

It's very strange because ISIS made use of Facebook and Twitter. I mean, why were they letting ISIS videos on Twitter? It is terrible to see pictures of dead people on social media. That stuff should not be allowed but it was like everyone had become desensitized. Instead of trying to create positive social change by discouraging the promotion of terrorism. I don't know why people are ignorant to how people are recruited to join terrorist groups through social media.

but as to reddit, it got really bad in 2016 like everything seemed to get that way where Hillary's Correct the Record shills invaded social media to counter the support for Bernie. I couldn't get away from these people, even in the deepish web. The Bernie support was natural but when Hillary put her money into the internet people were turned into her slaves and man, it's really freaking weird.

I personally think Hillary is the Devil so she is using occult powers to control the people. But anyway, got banned from r/Politics about a dozen times (being a Bernie supporter) and I got banned from Twitter when I switched to supporting Trump. So the government has its fingers deep into the internet.

Reddit has to be some kind of population control experiment. Everyone seems to talk the same and any challenge is met with aggression. I'm like, isn't it common to hate on the Moderators? That's what ETI was all about. But on Reddit all these people are so happy to defend the arbitrary power of moderators. Like, I went to r/BernieforPresident to talk about how we should be planning Bernie's campaign and that one of his shortcomings is he fails to directly address socialism and should try to educate people about the history. I got banned from the subreddit and then I was silenced so I couldn't even talk with any other moderator.

I suppose I was banned because I saw how a lot of people there didn't even want Bernie to run and thought the moderator was one of them. Sucks how the internet works--the larger a community, the worse it is.

Yeah, even though I was a Bernie supporter who voted for Trump because I thought Hillary was more evil than him, I can only post every 9 minutes at most subreddits. I hate how they're so young and stupid.

That is definitely not true. I get fucking crucified on the smash bros subreddit if I say anything mildly critical of Sakurai or his latest game, for example.

It's not so much rotten apples, it's more that I'm shocked that multiple users can openly deny the holocaust and get away with it.
