How is that any different to any other message board? You either get flamed or ignored. Reddit just has a built-in idiot filter.

People have written extensions to hide posts by people they don't like. If anything, that's far worse. What if Anonymous of Yugoslavia says something really insightful for a change?
Again, most people can hide or just ignore them anyway. Worst case scenario, people get upset and you have yourself a pointless flame war. "Nuh-uh, I'm NOT a faggot!" Voila, thread derailed. Reddit doesn't have this problem.

>But it says a hell of a lot about you that you consider everyone who disagrees with you, or the general opinion "an idiot".
It's not I disagree with them, it's that they've been downvoted. Reddit isn't a "hivemind" and it even has a "controversial" tab dedicated to posts that have had a heavy mix of upvotes and downvotes.
If a hundred or more like-minded people have decided a post is worthless, then chances are I'll agree with them. Look at all the ">mfw le ironic derp herp" posts on 4chan that get more attention than the on-topic, interesting or contributive ones (rare as they are). If those were hidden from 90% of users--especially the newbies and morons who reply to them--then 4chan would be a better place.

You're really getting on my nerves. People hiding posts they don't like is their own decision and right, you dumbshit. It's completely different from the userbase itself deciding certain replies are not worthy of being read by anyone.

> Reddit isn't a "hivemind" and it even has a "controversial" tab dedicated to posts that have had a heavy mix of upvotes and downvotes.

Reddit is a hivemind. Your so-called "controversial" posts represent sides of an argument that thread the border of acceptability but do not cross it. If there ever was a truly controversial post, it would be downvoted to hell and beyond and well hidden from the public eye.

>If a hundred or more like-minded people have decided a post is worthless, then chances are I'll agree with them.

Can I discuss Hetalia on /jp/? Not really, because /jp/ hates Hetalia. If /jp/ was a subreddit, Hetalia would be downvoted. It's just a more convenient way of filtering out bad posts by like-minded people. It's the same way you use sage: the idea is that the best threads with active contributions are bumped and kept on the front page, and the low quality threads are left to rot on pages 9 and 10. The upvote/downvote system is just a lot more efficient at this.

>Reddit is a hivemind. Your so-called "controversial" posts represent sides of an argument that thread the border of acceptability but do not cross it. If there ever was a truly controversial post, it would be downvoted to hell and beyond and well hidden from the public eye.
If Reddit was a hivemind, the controversial tab would always be blank. You might want to look up the definition of "controversy". It does not mean "something everyone hates" it means something everyone can't agree on. Obviously if you posted "lulz teh nigrs suck my 2 inch dik w/ teh RAPEZ" it would be hated by everyone. That is not controversial.

>Well then congratulations, you truly are a fucking idiot if you let random people you don't know decide what you should see and what you shouldn't.

Hetalia is /a/ material, that's why you can't discuss it. People can still bump threads to the top with a single reply, completely unlike something downvoted. Sage is a personal choice that is NOT fucking meant to "downvote" or express dislike for a thread, idiot.

Nope. I type properly, I never make off-topic posts (besides these, if they count) and I don't intentionally do anything offensive like spam or troll. However, I openly admit that I rarely put any effort into my posts. Why would I? If I made something good or wrote an interesting argument on a topic that mattered, I would post it elsewhere. 4chan is more like a chat room than a traditional message board.

Same with downvoting. Posts are downvoted because people read them. I've seen people here share filter lists, how is that any different? You're letting other people decide your opinions! What if you wanted to see that post that everyone agrees was terrible?!

You're free to walk away and stop replying. You're free to ignore me. You're also free to read my posts and type a response. Reddit is no different, except it has a voting system. It's democratic in a way that does a lot of the filtering *for* the users. No one person can decide a post is shit or good, it takes a lot of people. The result is that posts are sorted by quality.
Meanwhile, 4chan is an anarchic cesspool of shit (albeit a funny one).

sage is used to make replies that are of a low worth, because you don't need to bump the thread and bring it to everyone's attention. The fact that 40% of /jp/'s posts are considered worthless by their authors should tell you something.

Wow, you people are getting upset by this sage thing. I think you've taken your own mantras too far. I understand what sage is and how it is supposed to be used.
I mentioned Hetalia because it's a webcomic, not sure if /a/ discusses those. I've seen it mentioned here, at any rate. I figured it might be considered doujinshi since websites are self-published.

>I'd suggest you reread my previous reply and try again.
I stand by what I said. If everyone thought the same way (à la a hivemind) then the controversial feature wouldn't exist. Everyone would upvote or everyone would downvote.

>What? How is that in any way similar to what I described? Nobody is stopping me from visiting /po/.

Generally, it's happening the other way around. 4channers are moving to Reddit because they're realizing the benefits (to them) of being pseudonymous and earning sick karma points. Which is fine, because I'm glad to be rid of users with that sort of mindset.
I agree with what you're saying, though. I have no problem with newbies coming here as long as they read the rules/FAQ and lurk. Redditors seem like the sort of people who would actually bother to do this and make some effort to contribute. Unfortunately, just as many are likely to bring over bad habits and I doubt many of them would "get" 4chan. I read /r/4chan once and we appear to be this zany website that makes memes for the lulz, not a message board that has discussions and stuff.

[Mr. Bradeli !tRiPfAGSxc!!gOZ5rqq+i0U No.]

>Redditors seem like the sort of people who would actually bother to do this and make some effort to contribute.

Given the frequency that some haughty dork derails a thread by saying "4chan is shit, Reddit is much better" I kind of doubt that. With that, and the /r/4chan nonsense, it's no wonder that reddit is the current hate bait. But it also seems like "we" are in a more esoteric war with "normals" so usually the anti-reddit argument doesn't go very far.

I think at this point 4chan regulars shuffling around their main boards is more common than an influx of new users.

saging as a downvote. eat shit, nerds.

[Anonymous No.]

why

[Anonymous No.]

I'm going to go ahead and admit that I visit Reddit.

I mostly go on very small subforums of the site; Reddit, on the whole, is like 4chan in that it has many boards--many more, in fact, than 4chan does. The subforums (or "Reddits") that I visit commonly have between 500 and 3000 subscribers, and also have active moderation, something that is missing from most other, larger Reddits. Most reactionary hate from 4chan re Reddit is directed at the larger Reddits (like the politics, atheism, and technology boards, which are legitimate echo chambers filled with shitposting).

When you have a small community with posters numbering in the hundreds and active moderation, the downvote/upvote feature is actually a very efficient way of sorting content. Most of the intelligent small Reddits are made up of conscious high-quality posters who don't downvote based on difference of opinion.

I have been on Reddit since 2006, and I've witnessed its explosion in popularity and the decline in the overall quality of the site. I don't often admit that I visit Reddit anymore. Though I would say that many high quality posters have moved onto greener pastures, there still remain some small communities of people who are very intelligent and who make very good posts.

>>10270815
Is a fucking idiot. The community moderation system that Reddit has only works when everyone in the community agrees on how to moderate--which is why after about 2-3000 subscribers, a Reddit starts to go to shit and why the front page of Reddit is shit.
