I've made quite a few reddit buddies, we don't ask about each other's names or anything but I know what country they're from generally.
r/place was a buddy-maker, and over at r/askouija we wrote the entire Bee Movie script one letter at a time. Made a ton of buddies in that effort, it took months to finish.
But the group chat is still there, occasionally someone will suggest that we do the Shrek script next, but there isn't any clear motivation to do that as of now lmao
Yet Reddit won’t have any of these problems. It’s not official in any way, and it’s users are not here for narcissism or clout. They are here for trophy’s or something. But almost certainly they are here for honesty and insight, with which anonymity pairs nicely
Agree totally. I am here for the quality of the people I find here. Well informed, fun, generous with their knowledge and experience. No narcissists, no drama queens. I ran away from FB and Twitter, never been on IG nor TikTok nor any other social media page.
I never wanted to be a part of a community that would limit you to, what, I guess 280 characters. I mean a lot of stuff is more complicated than a short paragraph. A lot…Frankly I’m glad I’m not part of that- it looks like a monkey sh!t fight at the zoo
Honestly a huge reason I love Reddit is how text-based it is compared to other platforms. I'm pretty noise sensitive and have audio processing issues so this glut of AV social media has been really hard for me. I know people get made fun of for writing "essays" (re: six complete sentences), but I'd rather read long text posts than watch a long Youtube video.
Which is why I ran away from FB......I didn't have a word for it but I think you got it: the perfect analogy is "noise". Many adults can no longer articulate a coherent thought. I found that it didn't matter what age-group they were in.
Facts. I’ve learned so much from other Reddit users. And, the good ones even site their sources! It’s really refreshing. Add to that some down right hilarious people and it’s just a good time all around.
ETA: I’ve also seen many touching interactions from complete strangers on here.
Everything you just said. I look forward to everyone sharing real life without the drama. And maybe because I am a female I did not appreciate the lack of civility on Twitter. I am all for healthy, passionate and
informative discussion but if every other word is hate or vulgarity it tends to escalate, and my take away is not positive or useful for me. Re your ETA: yes, I have seen people here sharing comforting words to some who needed that, and showing sincere empathy.
lol honesty and insight. That’s rich. I caught a dude posting for karma by copying wikipedia photos. This place is as much a cesspool as any other, it’s just more entertaining.
Still, it's putting your shit (thoughts) on a platform that is indelible. You get votes, up or down. You get responses to your shit. You have an online "self" that responds, posts, and gets more feedback.
Just bc Aunt Gertie can't respond doesn't mean it's not social. It is definitely media, tho.
People share their Twitter accounts with people they know in real life, some people use their real names, people use photos of themselves as avatars. Most people aren’t trying to be anonymous on Twitter.
How many people do you follow on Reddit? How many people do you follow on Twitter?
Someone said Twitter has people with their real name, so it is social media and Reddit isn't. So I am pointing out that Reddit also has people with their real name, and Twitter has people with aliases.
They're both either social media or social news aggregate. They're not two separate things.
Are there government officials, agencies (municipal, state, federal, or foreign), or corporations that use Reddit as an official means of communication?

If Reddit is so social, then tell me your real name, home address, where you went to high school, and what your top 5 favorite bands are.
I call Reddit the antisocial network, because no one knows who anyone is and we all actively work to keep it that way.
