I realized after being subscribed to /r/pokemon for a year that I really don't need to read multiple threads about pokemon every day. I don't even play pokemon.

A long time ago it was mostly competitive battling videos, submissions about up-and-coming events, actual current info about Pokémon.

Now it's a giant load of nostalgia circlejerking and memes, with the odd comic. I swear most of these people haven't played Pokémon for about 10 years.

I'm a bit older at gasp 31. When some of my younger employees (retail) found out that I was on Reddit they thought it was so cool. When they asked if I had seen any of their rage comics I explained I filter them out under my settings. They had a hard time understanding this because they said that's pretty much all Reddit is, afterall. I'm sure they made some rage comic when they got home about a scumbag boss that thinks he's a Redditor but has no idea.

[–][deleted] 31 points32 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I realize that I'm coming dangerously close to defending rage comics, but isn't the over-use of "le" intentional? Or wasn't it at some point?

[–][deleted] 23 points24 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I think it originally had a specific misuse; you'd throw it in front of the key verb in your rage comic. So if it was a rage comic about stepping in a puddle with socks on (of which there are roughly 18 billion) it'd be some bullshit like "le step". Now it's just tossed on everything.

[–]Sergnb 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Exactly. It was supposed to be some kind of "trollish" thing you put before verbs. Oh look it's a bee! "le sting". FFFUUUU! etc etc

Simple yet effective.

Saying "le friend and le me" is not. It's not even anything. Why is that shit still a thing? I don't get it

[–]PolarBurs 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

As I stated in response to 'Urethral_Instigation', I beleive this might be the origin of 'le's misuse.

[–]Wertyui09070 2 points3 points ago

It was the introduction of the Dave Silverman WTF face and the NPH True story that did it for me. Made me really think about what I was reading. I'm embarrassed that I ever read any of that crap. None of them are clever or funny or anything, they're just these weirdly specific stories that I don't understand why anyone would care about.

I think we need a reddit clone that is all text-based posts. There's still good material in popular subreddits, but the one liners and pictures have a better chance because they don't take as much time to be read or understood.

I'm getting bored even with these unsubscribing posts (which includes much circlejerking itself).

[–]reddit_platinum_beta 14 points15 points ago

I don't know how you would even subscribe to that shit to begin with. Sure, the eventual post that surfaces in the frontpage of r/all is funny, but that-is-all.

I subscribed to r/depression for obvious reasons, hoping that sub was maybe a helpful one full of motivational posts and the occasional I-need-help, like in /loseit. But my feed had constant cries for help all through it so I just had to unsubscribe, it made me feel worse.

I have a question.

So, r/trees is one of the default subreddits. I don't smoke and they're posts are very annoying so, instead of complaining and shit, I just unsubscribed. Still, though, I can't check out r/all without getting a metric shit-tonne of "I was at an [8] when I made this!", "DAE wish pot was legal in America?", and "I don't know about you, but I just don't downtoke here."

Is there anything I can do to read Reddit without getting stupid posts from r/trees?

[–]ColonelForge 9 points10 points ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

As an Ent, I'm sorry to hear you don't enjoy our little corner of Reddit, but if it's not for you, then the RES is. Install that sucker in whatever browser you use.

Then, reload Reddit and click the [RES] link next to preferences at the top right. Now, under the "Enable Modules" section, check the box next to "filteReddit". Should be the fourth one from the bottom.

Now, go to the "Configure Modules" section, select "filteReddit" from the drop down, and add "trees" to the subreddit list, along with any other subreddits you don't care to see. Enjoy your tree-less reddit!

Edit: I was still on version 3.4... Whoopsie. The up-to date instructions are as follows:

Hover over the "Settings" icon to the top right (Just to the left of the logout option), then select "Settings Console" from the list that shows up. Then click the "Filters" tab and add tags/reddits there.

[–]Mozzy 7 points8 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Thanks, man. I'm sure most Ents are great, but it's essentially a circlejerk without the satire, so it really isn't my deal. Thanks, though. I already have RES but I've not really used it for anything but making Reddit look cleaner.

[–]Who-Face 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

As a person who is a moderate smoker, /r/trees is like a massive circlejerk that's too obsessed with being a "ent" but with way way way less content.

/r/trees needs to filter out all the bull.

Ha. I was doing really good about not creating an account and getting wrapped in the interactivity of the sites. Then they added r/aww to the frontpage and every fifth link was a picture of a kitten or puppy someone adopted after rescuing it from the jaws of shark or alligator. I literally created this account solely to unsubscribe from that. I mean, I think puppies and kittens are cute, and it's good that people rescue them from hungry beasts, but I'm not interested in reading the local animal shelter's manifest everyday.

I consider myself a Christian but I still like reading about some of the ways of thinking and philosophy on /r/atheism. I had to unsubscribe because the other stuff just got overwhelmingly annoying.

I actually almost fell into the trap. Wasn't logged in yet, was infuriated by a front page r/atheism post and almost replied. It involved Nazis and God and everything. I'm still a little shaken by it.

[–]TinyEarl 44 points45 points ago

Most of the people hating on r/atheism aren't doing so because they aren't atheists, it's because r/atheism has devolved into a giant circle-jerk.

[–]Sergnb 5 points6 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I am atheist and had subscribed to r/atheism for about 2 or 3 months.

It was until I saw 4 FUCKING RAGE COMICS in a row about how "I was christian but now I'm atheist :)!" or "christians are so derpherp!", and don't make me even start with the "le muslim friend..."

Jesus christ that place. There are some genuinely interesting posts here and there, but 90% of the time is just pure garbage tossen from suburban kids that need to be in some kind of rebellious subculture.

Most of them say r/atheism is a "haven for those oppressed by religion". What the actual fuck are you even talking about? I've never felt opressed by religion. I just wanted to discuss some motherfucking science, but here I was just watching how a bunch of teenagers trash talked the beliefs of other people.

Anyway, unsubscribe and never look back. I'll never miss you

I'm embarrassed to recommend anyone IRL to visit reddit.com. When they get there it's all weird atheist memes, weird gaming memes, some more random memes, and teenagers screaming at each other in r/politics (and whatever other shit I forgot is on the frontpage now). It looks like one of the worst sites to ever visit. I can't say "Hey, you should check out reddit.com it's pretty cool, but first you have to register, unsubscribe from ___ subreddits, subscribe to ___ subreddits, then check it out. If you still don't like it you could try searching (somehow, don't ask me how) for some other subreddits that peak your interest and you may find something that is interesting to you a few hours or days after you visit reddit.com".

I used to recommend this site, but if you just go to it now with the new default homepage it is really an embarrassment of what I apparently read/look at in my spare time. At this point they might as well put fuuuuu back on the frontpage and take out askscience because the site already looks like so much shit on the default. Might as well go all the way with it and not half-ass things.

Edit: Forgot to mention shitty rage comics everywhere, now that I'm thinking about it. I would never want all this shit to be associated to me so I never tell anyone about reddit anymore (it wasn't significantly better before, get off my lawn, but the default usually wasn't this shitty and r/reddit gave a good variety of stuff too).

I'm an atheist, and I have to be honest: when I saw the amount of ambiguously circle-jerk material, it took me about two minutes to take it off my frontpage.

[–]mickey_kneecaps 31 points32 points ago

I think that most of the people who have left r/atheism are atheists. I certainly am. They are just so damn annoying and awful. If I was a Christian, I wouldn't want to be associated with hateful Christians, and it's no different just because I am an atheist.

[–]Typhun 22 points23 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I'm right there with you man. When I started reading reddit and learned about /r/atheism I thought "oh boy, people like me!" Then I started reading it and realized that they may be atheists, but I am not like them. They seem like they believe almost everything posted in there, without further inquiry or any kind of disbelief of stupid/extreme claims.

The best/worst part about /r/atheism is the total lack of skepticism by most of the "atheists" there. I read that we are supposedly more intelligent than our religious counterparts, but I just don't see it. Maybe because atheism is getting more popular, the general intelligence of those who call themselves atheists is dropping like a rock.

It is a terrible circle jerk in there, and god forbid you call them out on it. Downvotes galore for pointing out the circle jerk that it has devolved into. It is even worse than /r/circlejerk.

[–]ZeekySantos 10 points11 points ago

circlejerk is actually a metacirclejerk at this stage.

[–]HomeButton 7 points8 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I've never felt bad for religious people until I saw some of the stuff people say there. There's a line between respectfully disagreeing and simply shitting on someone, and it gets crossed all too often over there.

And, by the way, the r/circlejerk mods did a whole push to keep people from cursing and saying abusive things over there, so r/circlejerk is actually kind of better.

[–]xkaymex 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Reading through this whole thread kind of cheers me up a bit. I was subbed to /r/atheism because I expected plenty of discussion... and I found a lot of that, but I was overwhelmed by some unfortunate attitudes. It wasn't universal, but it was too much for me. I was starting to wonder if I was one of the only people that felt that way, though, considering how popular a subreddit it is.

I'm not going to jump and say /r/atheism is so terrible people suck argh etc. but I will say I think it could be a lot better. Of course people say, 'People discussing atheism in an atheism subreddit? Surely not!' but I went in there to talk atheism, not collectively bash anything remotely related to religion. Unfortunately, all the good topics in there are often overshadowed by the rest.

[–]fawker -1 points0 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

There was a guy I worked with, who was a redditor, and sounded exactly like those guys in /r/atheism. It seemed like every other conversation I got involved with him turned into some kind of atheism rant.

Needless to say this guy did, and probably still does, work with only few people on the midnight shift.

[–]Typhun 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I know what you mean. I'm happy I was never that kind of atheist. A lot of the people that post in there are just as zealous and in your face about their lack of faith as some of the Christians they claim to despise/hate.

[–]passwordisBLU 0 points1 point ago

I think most people in /r/atheism will admit it gets rather circlejerky. I'm not sure why you would expect to get upvoted for that.

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points ago

I've seen threads get deleted where everyone agreed to just upvote the shit out of each other for karma and the mods put a stop to it. But somehow everything in atheism and trees gets a free pass.

r/atheism has some interesting things sometimes.
I don't really care for the rage comics, they get repetitive and there is some hateful things about religion.
I think the science-geared posts are interesting and every once in awhile you can find some mind-blowing quote from Sagan or someone of the likes.

The fucking E Plurbus Unum stamp pictures are fucking annoying. The first one was "oh, that's neat" then the 10+ that came afterwards were just ridiculous. Seriously, do something original. Then you say something that goes against the circlejerk about it and you get downvoted into oblivion.

Pics is actually a whole lot better these days, since they banned all posts with text in. In other words, no more memes and whatnot. Mostly just beautiful/inspiring images.

I actually didn't realize you could subscribe/unsubscribe from subreddits until like a year after I made my account.

This. Fucking hell. That feeling I get from seeing people wearing Christian-themed T-shirts with logo parodies creeps up when I click on an image, and it's a goddamn rage comic that starts with "[religious devotee] approaches me. . .".

/r/atheism was a quick cut for me. I was out of there faster than a clean thing-a-magig from a dirty watcha-macalli. I still allow them to feel my Godly presence from time to time. I like to get downvoted into hell.

Still in /r/politics because it doesn't often grace the top news for me. I still visit it though to browse.

[–]TheOneInTheHat 7 points8 points ago*

It's incredibly difficult to get any balanced argument going on over there, and the front page is always filled with the same content:

  • anti harper/conservative
  • anti ISP/Wireless provider
  • nostalgic things about canada
  • stereotypes about canada

Go look, I bet you can find all 4 at any given time!

It's tough keeping a topic relevant when the topic hasn't had anything new in years. r/skyrim has been good for a while, and it's still fresh for now, but it will eventually degrade into nothing as time passes.

Dude, but for those of us that have been there a while, the same discussions just get recycled. Some of the memes (The worf one was funny) are a welcome break to the constant,

"Decided to start watching DS9! Anyone have a Must-View list?"

"Isn't The Inner Light like, THA BEST EPISOED?"

"If Voyager was X during Y, why didn't [Alien of the Week] just Z?"
