btw reddit is weird like it all seems like its written by one person, the tone is v flat a lot of and then and then and then so anyway style story telling, idk its creepy i guess they surface a lot of memes and viral news but w/e
― ice cr?m, Friday, 11 March 2011 02:06 (thirteen years ago) link
it seems like a horrible place
― call all destroyer, Friday, 11 March 2011 02:07 (thirteen years ago) link
its p funny how gawker openly uses it to find stories and reddit h8s them so bad for it - its like idk so now mediascape
― ice cr?m, Friday, 11 March 2011 02:09 (thirteen years ago) link
ive seen reddit sighted far and wide across then net as a place that has superior conversation or w/e - and i guess compared to like blog comments it does but gdamn

i've never reddit.

reddit and metafilter seem to be 'highbrow' w/r/t rest of the internet
feel like there's an ilx zing here somewhere but

that's why if ilx ceases to exist i will leave the internet 4ever
― call all destroyer, Friday, 11 March 2011 02:21 (thirteen years ago) link
thinking maybe the voting systems on those sites creates some sort of dystopian heard mentality xp
― ice cr?m, Friday, 11 March 2011 02:23 (thirteen years ago) link
like if people arent into what youre saying it ceases to have ever been said
― ice cr?m, Friday, 11 March 2011 02:24 (thirteen years ago) link
maybe, I never been
I should clarify and say that that's what I've heard about those two sites - metafilter is useful sometimes for like getting to the bottom of some internet hoax or something, it always seems to come up in google results
― Slow lorax loves getting tickled (dayo), Friday, 11 March 2011 02:24 (thirteen years ago) link
ive only ever investigated reddit via this thread and i watched a talk by the metafilter guy via youtube - both sites seem k creepily into themselves for being reasonable
― ice cr?m, Friday, 11 March 2011 02:27 (thirteen years ago) link
I just look for the pics. It's where I found that border shot of TJ. Some other cool burbs pix as well.
All that fffffffffuuuuuuuu forever alone shit can Die In A Fire, for all I'm concerned.

metafilter is 1m better than reddit but neither of them hold a candle to good ol ilx
― max, Friday, 11 March 2011 03:41 (thirteen years ago) link
reddit is great for finding funny links and shit but seriously it is like a parody of internet geek culture, all woman-hating quasi-racist super-moralistic libertarianism
― max, Friday, 11 March 2011 03:43 (thirteen years ago) link
oh and obviously nonstop atheist bullshit
Metafilter bugs me. Reminds me of the fifty-year-old woman in my office who sends me links to YouTubes of people who take pictures of their baby every day for a year.
― Pleasant Plains, Friday, 11 March 2011 03:54 (thirteen years ago) link
I also steal stuff from bco, but only if http://i54.tinypic.com/11l4yvn.gif hasn't stolen it first.
― Pleasant Plains, Friday, 11 March 2011 03:55 (thirteen years ago) link
Good grief. People whine about the lack of funny on the excelsior thread, but that thing is still hanging in there.
― Pleasant Plains, Friday, 11 March 2011 03:56 (thirteen years ago) link
metafilter's been around for a long time
yeah I look at reddit sometimes when really bored for links but feel guilty while doing it cause the culture is so embarrassing, I feel like ilx is looking over my shoulder and judging me
― iatee, Friday, 11 March 2011 03:56 (thirteen years ago) link
They try so hard to make memes. Someone posted a picture of an analog clock with "IIII" in the 4 position, circling it with a big CLOCK FAIL. Cracked me up.
I mean 4chan is the true underbelly of the web, but at least their suicides are real.
― Pleasant Plains, Friday, 11 March 2011 04:07 (thirteen years ago) link
4chan has the decency to be funny, if completely amoral. & the 4chan community structure is pretty fascinating.

the guy looks kind of proud of the manboobs -- as well he might, it's a hell of a rack -- but that seems to undercut the advertiser's message

can i tell you something. i was at this event at science club in dc (yuri's night, in honor of the anniversary of yuri gagarin spaceflight). by the time i got there the place was very crowded, the upstairs was full.. i got a gin and tonic and walked around for a bit anyway. i found that the room in back past the bar didn't have too many people, and the majority of the tables there were all occupied by large, unfriendly looking dudes in polo shirts who were just sitting there not interacting with anyone else
later on that evening on the twitters someone posted a photo of those tables, captioned REDDIT IS IN THE HOUSE

Rotter 31 up, 9 downbuy rotter mugs, tshirts and magnetsSomeone who is generally subversive, deviant, shameless and attracted to the more gutter styles of existence."Look at that rotter over there, he's shit his pants, he's pissed out of his face, he's just shagged that whore without a johnny, there's red wine stains all over his lips, his eyes have gone yellow, he's got odd socks on, the flies seem to be following him, there's a belt wrapped around his arm, he's dragging a dead dog on a lead, oh and look, now he's vomiting down his front!"
