Wow, it's still going, eh? I knew about it back in the day but have not checked up on it recently.

Aaand they have their own youtube channel with lots of fun lil sciency and forward looking future world and society bits :3

I visit there for the commentariat who I enjoy a lot

So I have deleted my account on Reddit

I was under a wrong assumption as to what it is

I was operating under the qssumption that it was similar to a BBS or Forae site

Since I have a magpie mind, I visited far and wide, asking questions, exploring and such

I found oot that Reddit is really a collection of mostly autonomous subcultures each with their own social norms and rules...

Reddit provides the uber rules and culture, these things you HAVE to follow and all subreddits do as well

But each subreddit can pretty much make its own rules...

The upvoting and downvoting I find is basically cultural popularity or how one fits in to that culture

I left because I ran into far too much of the polarized politics I don't like, too much USA anxiety politics and too many people who assume right off the bat or don't read well

Too many hot takes and tldr taken as a social norm

So for sanity's sake, I have left

It is an amazing experiment. There seems to be a subculture for anything

Just be sure to read the rules of reddit and the rules for each subreddit

And realize that the Mods are the Deities there :3

I have had some amazing conversations there

Some beautiful people indeed

Oh wow I had forgotten all about this old thread I started. I had the Reddit app for a while but I deleted my account and uninstalled the app.

What have you learned aboot the whole experience?

I found a couple of nice subreddits but my need for them has passed. Decluttering and nail-biting recovery were very helpful for a time.

None of the faith based places inspired me to stick around for very long.
