reddit is the gayest shit ever, absolutely unreadable even when it's bursting with good info
when some weeb imageboard engine handles threads better you know something's up

I pretty much just go to Reddit and use the sub’s FAQ when I’m starting to learn something new. Then I often use Google searches restricted to the site (or stackexchange, etc) because googling non academic info has been broken for about 5 years now.Originally Posted by Hel OWeen
TBH, the way Reddit handles threads is some of the worst implementation of it I came across in my lifetime. I get it: you need new threads to boost your numbers, but reading the very same question literally every week, just because threads with new answers don't bubble up to the top again, is really a way to bury knowledge deep down "the internet".
But yeah, I never bother to actively engage in any sub there. Good point, maybe that’s one reason why.

IF you are seriously looking for information googling [topic]+reddit is the only way. And that works pretty good imho. Reddit is (now?) built on headlines and clicks. Generally speaking. Hence its not for discussion, its for "aww, look at that cute cat" --> "FUCK THE LEFT/RIGHT!"
It's for fucking loads of a disinformation about pretty basic health and fitness stuff as well.
Look, the wages you withheld from the workmen who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of Hosts. You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves for slaughter.
100% this. Being against reddit is like being against wikipedia - just edgy posturing. It's the only decent source of specialist hobby info. Like anything on the internet, you take it with a pinch of salt but its far better than any other alternative.

What do you mean by fitness? I actually reference /r/fitness a lot to guide my weightlifting schedule.
Here are some subs I think you would enjoy:
www.reddit.com/r/LateStageCapitalism/
www.reddit.com/r/antiwork/
www.reddit.com/r/collapse/
www.reddit.com/r/lostgeneration/
www.reddit.com/r/radicalmentalhealth/
https://www.reddit.com/r/FirstAgainstTheWall/
I used to read LSC fairly regularly, until I realized the mods were nuking anything that criticized Putin and Russia. They also said the subreddit was focused on the failures of capitalism in the West, rather than in general.
Haven't been back since.

Tankie mods are a scourge on reddit.
Reddit a well known tankie bastion
Love antiwork, its great.
Reddit posting is closer to tweeting than forum posting, but the format is easy and gives the dopamine drip.TBH, the way Reddit handles threads is some of the worst implementation of it I came across in my lifetime.

Reddit has sucked the life out of forums and also out of the content.
Non-upvoted, chronological posting is high(er) quality but not very social media
Well, it's social, we're just pickier who we socialize with

Same applies for literally any anticapitalist community ever.
Reddit isnt very social media either, as 99% of posts are essentially pseudo-anonymous and outside of literally a small handful of novelty accounts there is no profile building or networking. Even a traditional forum is more social media, given the profile building elements. It's all about that rep, babyReddit posting is closer to tweeting than forum posting, but the format is easy and gives the dopamine drip.TBH, the way Reddit handles threads is some of the worst implementation of it I came across in my lifetime.

The fitness subreddit works because they broke everything that Reddit wanted subs to be in order to make it a functioning repository of information. It's basically a link to a wiki with a daily q&a thread, which is fine. But the most of the high traffic fitness subs which popped up for fitness 'discussion' outside of it are pretty rubbish.What do you mean by fitness?

It's probably one of the most complained about subreddits as well because of its moderation policies

redditors have to be kept in check otherwise they will post all the lowest common denominator memes and bandwagony content to get their upvotesThe fitness subreddit works because they broke everything that Reddit wanted subs to be in order to make it a functioning repository of information.
