And then let the internecine cannibal holocaust begin in earnest.
The "back to reddit" meme aside, half the time you see something shockingly idiotic in here and search the username, they literally are from reddit and used the same username there.
Don't fucking compare a chimp to a redditor, a chimp can actually accomplish things outside of neckbeard on a higher level each week.
chimps also have serious muscle strength while redditors are known for struggling with soylent bottles
I don't think there's a long term solution for the very real problem you're pointing out. Like, no website is immune to this and there has never been a website that has preserved it's core culture in the history of the internet. It also hinges on one person keeping it online. Josh could get hit by a bus while crossing the street and KF is just done and dusted.
The weight of the neckbeard defies physics.
Yeah fundamentally you cant stop people from jumping ship to somewhere else. The low quality shitposting is the only real downside. If you are tired of the bullshit and want an honest discussion come right on by, but know that you are dealing with people who wont entertain any bullshit from you.
Its a very genuine issue and there's also the threat of going the same way as Something Awful if the walls stay up. Eventually the circlejerk and echo-chambering becomes too deafening.
Yeah, as simple as it is, lurking will help you not look like an idiot. But, you got redditors coming here....so its a given they will fuck it up.
Fucking up or getting into a stupid argument is inevitable when it involves socializing with people. It's not melting down over it or moving on from the mistake that is important. Everyone on this site has fought over something or gotten heated over their opinion at least once.
Youre asking too much from them when they dont expect to be doxxed, or even understand the concept.
It actually would be a good idea to do that, it would cause them to eat themselves and die out like anything else and just disappear after a short while. Same with occupy wall street. Started good in idea, then was ran by people that practice magic.
I’ve posted before in this thread about this, but go to /r/all, pick a post, go to that post’s subreddit, and count the number of posts with over 1000 upvotes sorted by Hot (the default sort). Most of the front page subs have millions of subscribers but only a handful of recent highly upvoted posts. That’s not what you’d expect from an organic site, and it doesn’t match my memory of what Reddit was like in its heyday.
I lurked for years and only made an account because registration kept closing after Chris banged his mom and I was like “whoah damn I should maybe register an account because this might be my only chance to shitpost with these fine fellas”.
They have no fucking idea what its like to live in a real far-right dictatorship, they cant even fathom what is like living in fear that you might have said something bad about the generalissimo and somebody reported you so a paramilitary task group is going to kick down the door at 4am, drag you out in front of the entire neighborhood (with nobody daring to say shit) and disappear your ass, probably in a ditch or a river
What? you're thinking of facebook, myspace lasted less than a fart in the wind and was never a thing outside murrica
Myspace wasn't a thing outside the US? I wouldn't call it a fart in the wind, it found a niche among indie musicians and is actually still going strong as a site to promote music but I had no idea it wasn't universally popular in its heyday.
Just tell them to write "nigger."
