I agree. I used to browse /r/all all the time, but now it's just untenable. There are a handful of good subreddits left, and if you only read those it can be OK, but man you're right it's 99% garbage. I feel like I'm conversing with a crowd of children when I use that site. Every once in a blue moon you have a logical discussion with someone, but it's definitely the exception rather than the rule on reddit these days.

I see your account is 2 hours old, so welcome to saidit! Here's some more stuff about the site if you want to learn more about how saidit works and how it differs from reddit: https://saidit.net/s/SaidIt/comments/37r/welcome_to_saiditnet/

    I think we should just leave it behind and let the site naturally grow. Perhaps a /r/meanwhile onsaidit instead?

    Someone should make a bot that reposts all content from there to saidit.

      Cool. Glad you can appreciate where I'm coming from.

        Most of the posts on reddit are fine. You can already find every single thing that has been posted on saidit on reddit too. It's the culture that sucks, created by toxic people not unlike you. Give me the content, but fuck that culture of groupthink and censorship.

        That's not true at all, except the part about me being "toxic people" and reddit sucking ass.

        /u/magnora7, would you be opposed to a bot that looks at the top posts from /r/all (excluding nsfw posts) in a fixed interval and posts them to a dedicated sub?

        No that'd be fine, but we might take it off the front page because it'd cause a lot of duplicates to end up appearing.

        Please respect the pyramid of debate when on saidit. https://saidit.net/s/SaidIt/comments/j1/the_saiditnet_terms_and_content_policy/

        First warning.

        You've already warned me at least once before. Don't lose count.

        I'd like it if it was a bot account and if you add it as a mod or something it allowed you to repost from your subs reddit counterpart that way if you do own both the Subreddit and the Sub you can share the content to here and or if the Reddit counter part of your sub isn't to toxic/stupid you can forward it, that bot would be a good idea in some cases.

        Thanks for the welcome!

        I agree that there are some good subreddits left. What initially brought me to reddit was a place to gather with people with similar niche interests, and the problem solving community surrounding the specific interest. Hopefully saidit can replace reddit in that way, someday.

        I also agree with you on the children part. No sense commenting on anything that’s close to the front page unless you have a good joke.

        I’ll check out that link!

        r/linux has been a dumpster fire for years. Don't even bother posting there if your opinions don't conform to the groupthink.

        That and Linux gaming subreddit. Literally just the gaming sub, but everyone installs Manjaro or some shit

        I don't really post on reddit anymore. That said are there any other good subs or discussion platforms for Linux that you'd recommend?

        I've also gotten good play from /g/ but not sure I'd recommend it to anyone.

        Non-political ones like r/formula1 or r/kerbalspaceprogram are usually quite nice, except for the few times a post hits the front page.

        Even my favorite sports sites have all become enforced echo chambers whereas 4 years ago argumentation was actively encouraged and understand to be a positive part about interacting.

        [–]magnora7 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

        That's very well said. Argumentation used to be a benefit, not a downside. But people also kept it more civil back then. Probably because there are more young and less intelligent people online now.

        This is why I’m not all that opposed to getting rid of net neutrality. I want my 2006 internet back dammit! /s

        /r/C_S_T and a few others, it's a very short list
