Reddit is fine if you want to look for specific stuff that doesn't involve discussion because when it comes to discussing things there, it's a hivemind cesspool.

Kek, no. The only reason to actually *hate* Reddit is if you're an autistic socially reclusive retard who lives and breathes the Internet to the point that you identify and define yourself through websites you use. As already stated it's quite good when it comes to factual topics like science, tech or to some degree history (and no, I don't mean /r/futurology and other preteen sections). Particularly compared to burning garbage dumps like /g/ with three and a half sane posters dispersed among five generals or /sci/ which is nowadays freshman homework and pseudoscience central with 0.99(9) competent contributors or /his/ which is really just /pol/ with more maps and Paradox games. Not to mention that once your honeymoon newfriend period ends you will discover that cookie-cutter edgy memetexts, autistic contrarianism and hiding behind ten layers of irony for fear of not getting enough (You)votes are really not any more interesting than shitty pun chains or opinion circlejerking or karmawhoring. Both sites have different strengths and again to care about tribal web-allegiances instead of what little value can be extracted from both is just phenomenal cretinism. Use the fucking info they provide instead of substituting social life with them, brainlet.

Since you're too retarded to understand a single thing, you dumbfuck redditor, let me spell it out for you

The values behind those that browse reddit are unbearably average, run-of the mill, unexamined and absolutely fucking cancerous. But you don't need to look further than the actual shitty site itself. Every other subplebbit is called Topic_porn. Every fucking thread just has a thousand hidden comments and one or two shitty puns. If there is a long and detailed post, its just factually incorrect and retarded. Even on this board, people now openly discuss genre fiction, the lotr movies, stephen king, and other absolute garbage which they didn't before reddit flooded this fucking place.

I think I've seen people there unironically complain about not being able to downvote unpopular opinions. /his/ is a new board so I suppose it makes sense that it's full of tumors. /lit/ has a large enough core membership that redditors can't completely change the board culture through sheer numbers alone.

/his/ just has younger people and a bit of /int/ and /pol/ mixed with it.

Isn't the whole point of their school of thought to transcend reliance on falsely ascribing rationality to your thought processes though, fundamentally recognizing how much of our mental life isn't logical and can never be?

Just because it's better than /his/ doesn't mean it's good.

I find it really telling that people somehow think critical thinking can be taught within the current system of education just by declaring it as a discrete subject separate from the rest of the system, without changing anything about the current education system, ideologically or materially.

The difference is that here the person who says that won't have 32 thousand others agreeing with him

It's an abstract kind of circle jerk
Here's the logic that goes down in their unconscious
>philosophy makes you smarter
>i do philosophy
>therefore I'm smart
But the truth is for the vast majority of redditors on boards like that none of these are the case

>>10172826
This is definitely true and their taste in memes is possibly the worst of any board

I've gotten some pretty good secondary lit recommendations from askphilosophy. They're not completely garbage.

I'll grant you Descartes Hobbes and Plato, though.

But let's not forget the Reddit part of the list
>Peter singer
>Russell
>Some book called "confessions of a philosopher"
>Four or five similarly bad introductory books

The trouble with blebbit is that they're incapable of distinguishing between what's actually good, and what's pulp mass appeal garbage

The problem is that /lit/ is half humanities unofficially while /his/ is half humanities in name. So we basically have no real philosophy board.

[Anonymous No.10175809]

>>10175785
/his/ took the fall for us, /pol/ newfags don't like reading so will naturally avoid this board if they have the choice

Man the board split was such a terrible choice.
Anyways. Wasn't askphil alright? I felt they were, most of the answers at least. The questions were terrible.

I posted an excerpt from my professor's book on Heidegger, in which he provides an etymological account of "ethos/ethics," to which someone replied with a Crash Course video on ethics and said: "so basically this?"

So no. That subreddit is a shithole.
