I agree with what /r/atheism says. But seeing it flood the front page looks like this. (i.imgur.com)

Know why it's hitting the front page so much? Because unthinking morons come around and post ten billion bitch posts and drive our activity stats through the roof.
And even though I just laid it out for them they still won't get it.
[–]ChaoticRapture[S] 1 point2 points3 points 9 months ago
I'm pretty sure it's hitting the front page so much right now because it's in the new line of default subreddits.
[–]GI_JOE_PSA 1 point2 points3 points 9 months ago
Sure, but there are 20 defaults. OP is correct about increased activity in subs leading to being higher on frontpage rankings. Moreover, your personal activity constructs how your frontpage will look. All the xtians bitching in /r/atheism are just driving more atheism links to their frontpage because the reddit algorithm assumes it's a subject they're interested in.
[–]Uberhatkat 0 points1 point2 points 9 months ago
I don't remember seeing r/bathroomhookups on the front page.
[–]Diagonaldog 3 points4 points5 points 9 months ago
Its almost making me hate going to /r/atheism because its just different people saying the same thing. How about we just ignore the theists?
[–]ChaoticRapture[S] -2 points-1 points0 points 9 months ago
It seems like this place is more of a vent for people. If the posters really want to spread the word about theism being silly, they should engage people in conversation, maybe on sites with a larger theist population, or talk with some in real life. It just looks too much like a circlejerk over here.
[–]joeanon 3 points4 points5 points 9 months ago
I don't think they need to or have claimed to have a goal. It's just random people posting shit just like the rest of reddit. Get over it.. I'm tired of make-up clad porn stars with super fake dyed red hair, but I'm not going to each post and complaining about it.
[–]thecajunone 1 point2 points3 points 9 months ago
The only reason you were downvoted is because you spoke truth. Truth can hurt. r/atheism is more than that but lately the surge has made it seem so, it'll pass soon. In the mean time have an upvote for calling it like you see it.
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 9 months ago
You made me lol, I like you. :)
[–]Lord_Mudcrab 1 point2 points3 points 9 months ago
I think this image applies to the majority of Reddit to be honest.
[–][deleted] 4 points5 points6 points 9 months ago
So unsubscribe
[–]SegataSanshiro 4 points5 points6 points 9 months ago
Or submit the content you'd like to see in the subreddit, rather than complaints about the content that is there.
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 9 months ago
That's good too
[–]joeanon 0 points1 point2 points 9 months ago
Everything on the front bag looks like that to me. I'm only here for the comments.
[–]thecajunone 0 points1 point2 points 9 months ago
My thoughts exactly.
[–]zectrum 0 points1 point2 points 9 months ago
Well, it seems like the people who dislike these are in the minority. If they were the majority, then the front page would not be flooded with these threads.
[–]Poogy 0 points1 point2 points 9 months ago
I think we'd only be beating a dead horse in Europe. Here in the good ol' USA, we're beating a living, breathing, pain-in-the-ass of a horse that's done nothing but cause us grief.
[–]Jucoy 0 points1 point2 points 9 months ago
Best gif ever.
[–]d4nny 0 points1 point2 points 9 months ago
can somebody please direct me to one of these threads were theists are coming in and acting rage-comic crazy? Telling us to stop criticizing their views etc etc. I haven't seen one goddamn thread from them. It's nothing but atheist spamming the front page asking them to stop posting
[–]SegataSanshiro 2 points3 points4 points 9 months ago
In the "new" tab, not "What's Hot". Obviously, none of the hated theist content gets upvoted to the front page of r/atheism.
[–]Perforex 3 points4 points5 points 9 months ago
I've stalke the new tab without success, do link me some?
[–]d4nny 1 point2 points3 points 9 months ago
Same..
[–]kleenexwarrior 0 points1 point2 points 9 months ago
I guess that's the point of reddit? Popular stuff goes up, bad stuff goes away. You can't explain that!
[–]ChaoticRapture[S] -1 points0 points1 point 9 months ago*
My account is not subscribed, but /r/atheism is on the default front page that viewers without accounts see. I just think a lot of new people who come to the community without accounts will see the circle jerk on the front page and be discouraged to visit the site again. It's hard to say if that's a good or bad thing. My opinion is neutral on the subject.
Edited for clarity*
[–]Kolya52b 2 points3 points4 points 9 months ago
Because atheists talking about atheism in the atheist subreddit is a circlejerk.
[–]TheToastyMan 3 points4 points5 points 9 months ago
Every time you see a circle jerk in progress you must call foul and type CIRCLE JERK. ALERT. In all caps so people know that a circle jerk is in progress and people will know not to join in. Now that that's solved lets talk about cats and how cute they are.
[–]Kolya52b -1 points0 points1 point 9 months ago
I fucking love peanut butter.
[–]TheToastyMan 1 point2 points3 points 9 months ago
Peanut Butter? What about nutella? I just discovered it. It's so good.
[–]Kolya52b 1 point2 points3 points 9 months ago
I also like nutella.
OMFG CIRCLE JERK
I'm becoming what I was protecting you against! WHY!!!
[–]Kolya52b 0 points1 point2 points 9 months ago
We're not allowed to like similar things and talk about them on the same website!!!!!
We're all evil Circle Jerkers. I'm gonna go cut myself and watch Arrested Development.
[–]joeanon 2 points3 points4 points 9 months ago
Honestly reddit needs to do everything it can to slow down it's growth it will, without a doubt, be the next digg.
If people are driven away because they don't know how to use the site I present the idea that we are probably better off without them.. at least in this case.
In the case of something like jailbait.. that's certainly not the kind of people we want here.

Stupid horse, I beat you and beat you, but you don't do what I want!
[–]Redcard911 -1 points0 points1 point 9 months ago
If only it was like beating a dead Sarah Jessica Parker, however we represent a very small portion of society, and in any other forum we would be a vast minority. I think we should continue to fight the good fight because if we stopped, well, we will never get anywhere.
all it takes is a username and password

is it really that easy? only one way to find out...
already have an account and just want to login?
