Y'know, "introverted" people seem awfully outspoken about it nowdays...

Did I ever tell you how tiring being around other people is for me?

Congratulations! You are approximately eighty-five percent of Redditors.

Here is your well-earned Comment Karma. As well, as I am too poor to give you Reddit Silver, you shall have to make do with Reddit Bronze.

Good day, kind stranger.

Reddit

there's your problem
people on there get upboats on their autism because most other users have autism as well so it's "relatable"

I won't lie, /r/meirl / me_irl are sometimes far too relatable for me. That being said, I mostly use reddit to browse anime pics, and get angry at UK political discussion.

reddit has its use as a way of sharing and finding content, but the comment section is more often than not just memes, circlejerk and autism because voting systems don't work for discussions

It's not that bad outside the default subreddits. /r/me_irl and /r/anime_irl are circlejerks, but that's fine because that's what they're meant to be. There's some really quality subreddits which are moderated well. /r/askreddit, /r/spacex, /r/science spring to mind.

quality subreddits [...] /r/askreddit

excuse me what, a huge chunk of that sub is just talk about sex because that's funny right
yes, someone trying everything suggested with rice is funny. sure, the sub is useful for a laugh or a way to pass time, but "quality" is a huge overstatement.

/r/science often has a couple good comments that elaborate / clarify on the linked article, i'll give you that.

i don't have any experience with /r/spacex, so i can't comment on that.

i'll stand by my point that any sort of meaningful discussion is killed by the voting system. reddit inherently rewards you for appealing to the majority, whether that be through agreement, "funny" memes and puns or straight up circlejerk. you sometimes get a good comment or two out of the section which devolve into shitty attempts to cash in on karma down the chain.

smaller subs fall prey to the system just like the defaults do. i've spent a good chunk of my time on subs related to my interests (often smaller games) and the circlejerk is huge in those, just like the defaults.

the only subs i actually think the comment system with its voting component is good for are AMA-style subs.

/r/askhistorians is a pretty high quality sub. The mods are ruthless.

Hours? What on earth are you making?

I'm really getting tired of working retail. Wish I didn't go to college. I am looking to getting a full-time job so I can move out, but I know I'll be stressed working full time and school on top of that.

Eh. Everyone's still checking out our sister site, weeb.sx. plus people get busy due to school and stuff.

The Discord is an entirely different story tho. You should totes check it out sometime! 😃

Man, I hate living in the city. Every night, it's a choice between roasting in a building without AC, or opening the window and hearing ricer cars with fart cannons. Even with earplugs, I still toss and turn.

the god hates fags god is probably the worst dude to hang out with and i guarantee that's who god would be. constantly going on about fags and how they're all going to hell. "hey jesus, tell mewsoup about the jews" "oh you mean those FAG jews who murdered me?" "GOT 'EM JESUS"

it would be that for the rest of eternity.
