The full tally will probably not surprise you. At the number one Most Toxic Place on Reddit stands /r/TheRedPill

the most toxic place IS surprising, since it's ShitRedditSays (not TheRedPill)

What's the most toxic place on ILX?

prbly the thread that question spawns

makes sense tho that a board set up specifically to make fun of the rest of the site might get a lil negative

xp http://www.ilxor.com/ILX/ThreadSelectedControllerServlet?boardid=77&threadid=81298

does reddit provoke anxiety in ilxors because to most people what we do is essentially the same as what goes on over there?

no?

is there a creep shots board on here im not aware of.

i guess i just don't understand why people are so concerned with what happens over there more so than like 4chan. it harbors mras and "creepshot"ers and seems like somewhere that should simply be avoided.

its culture ppl are interested in it idk it has influence, how much more expressed as a % shd we be concerned with 4chan i will adjust the levels

Let me know when Barack Obama does an AMA with 4chan.

i didn't know he did that

i think i am just fatigued with the internet and maybe pop culture in general. that has nothing to do with reddit or ilx though. retract my "why do you care" style argument, which goes against all of what i thought were my beliefs

reddit is super populist, 4chan's origin and purpose are much much more narrow

i thought they were the same thing until relatively recently, or that one came from the other

4chan originated as an english-language version of the japanese imageboard, a very specific type of message board common in japan for sharing art, manga, etc. it predates reddit by a couple years at least, & is still mostly populated by people interested in anime, manga, japanese cultural stuff etc

theyre quite different! wld make an interesting case study re the contrasting designs/cultures

like 4chan is designed to be ephemeral and chaotic/playful, reddit is designed to be permanent and surface the most popular/important stuff

Isnt r/shitredditsays scoring toxic because it compiles toxic things posted in other subreddits? I think r/theredpill is the actual most toxic

where does the chive fit in tho

chive is life

#chivettesboredatwork

does anyone know the average age of a reddit user

nevermind i looked it up

tell us

Demographics

According to Google Ad Planner's estimate, as of May 2013, the median Reddit user is male (59%), 18–29 years of age, and is connecting from the United States (68%). Pewinternet.org has stated that 6% of all American adult Internet users have used Reddit before.

Was talking about this with friends on Friday, it's amazing that no PR person ever tells the celebs/pols who visit that Reddit harbors shit waaaaay worse than Stormfront.

The Chive is way weirder than ILX or Reddit - how do you have an online community with no interaction? It's like FAPs centering around Buzzfeed's biggest fans.
