Story of my life. my friend always sends me links, I tell him I've already seen it, then he gets mad and told me it just came out.

Happens every time. I usually just pretend I haven't seen it so I don't seem like an Internet snob.

[–]Enphuego 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I pretend I haven't seen it because I don't want to discuss Reddit with any of my friends. I'm fairly certain one of them is a Redditor, I just don't want to discuss it in public. I certainly don't want to have to explain it to my girlfriend or have her stalk my posts.

Just be glad they're posting from Reddit instead of funnyjunk or 9gag.

[–]nilleftw 10 points11 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I fucking hate Funnyjunk with passion. Not because it's a horrible site, because when you find an image on Google Images that is from Funnyjunk, that cesspool of a website doesn't let you click the image you found to let you view the full sized image, they fucking send you to their front page.

Yes but most claim that they were originally posted on where they found it which nowadays is 9gag. They're like Christians. Show them proof it wasn't and they'll ignore it and live in ignorance.

[–]Nirgilis 1 point2 points ago

I tell them 9gag sucks when they ask if I use it and mention reddit. But apparently people are too stupid to use this site.

[–]joss33 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yeah. "It's too hard to use. I like the simple design of scroll down and possibly put a smile on a post and hit next. IT STOLE MY SOUL!"

Translation : "I'm not good enough with computers to go on a webpage. I like to do simple things that require little work as I have a small attention span. I think 9gag 2 hours a day is an addiction."

I'm on reddit on my phone and all the time at home. That's about more than half my day on here. Bitch, you're not addicted.

[–]Nirgilis 2 points3 points ago

Thankfully the data cap on my phone contract limits my reddit abuse. And some lecture rooms at uni don't have wifi available.

yeah, my FB newsfeed is starting to get filled with memes and comics. the bad part is they're all the most unfunny ones out there by people who are just sharing what some other unfunny fuck posted and probably have no clue what reddit is.

[–]GeorgeLiqour 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Hmm on reddit you find picture somewhere, submit it to reddit to share what you thought was funny.

How is that ANY different than someone finding a picture (that happened to be found on reddit) and posting it to their facebook to share with others? Not everyone looks at reddit so it spreads the content around.

tl;dr shut the fuck up about shit being stolen from reddit.

The amount of Facebook screenshots on reddit is another one lol

No, because reddit isn't a producer. Therefore, there is no such thing as "Reddit pics". Users link to content on Facebook, just the same as they link to it on reddit.

[–]Johnny_Crab 1 point2 points ago

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

Very few of my friends are on Reddit, so when I see something funny on here, I'll share it with them via Facebook.

When I hear a joke, I'll want to tell it again.

When I hear something interesting, I'll want to pass on the news.

No big issue.

[–]LemonHarangue 1 point2 points ago

This is especially true since a lot of people aren't getting these images from Reddit. I get that internets are all about spreading popular/entertaining things but it pains me when the context is warped or completely missed/changed.

to be honest: these pics don't belong to any site (Reddit/4chan/Facebook/Tumblr/etc)... the only thing that is really that bad is people sometimes take credit for things they don't make (reposts). :/

How the fuck do you all have Facebook friends that are also on Reddit? I've yet to see any evidence of Reddit in real life. Not Facebook, not a buddy browsing it, not even 1 goddamn bumper sticker...yet you see TOO MANY reposts from Reddit to Facebook? STFU and count yourself lucky you have friends that are mildly interesting.

Here's my hypothesis, the picture gets on Reddit for one reason or another. Then, some jackass decides to put it on Tumblr to get karma or whatever the hell they do over there. At this point, internet inexperienced females (idiot FB Girl-esque) who browse Tumblr find it, and then either post it on their friends walls or on their own, as for some reason, these type of girls can never seem to keep their conversations private.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

great, so I have been pestered by all these redditors who bitch and moan about reposts for months, and now you are going to start bitching that other sites uses the images that were copied from someone else in the first place?

This is some kind of insane inception bitching, posting of a re-post from a post...

I know many of my friends on Facebook would like reddit but they just aren't interested in "getting in to it". Since I'm not going to be a douche and try to cram reddit.com in their face, I simply post those things they would find interesting or enlightening on Facebook. It's not about making myself look smart or clever or original. It's that helping them enjoy the intarwebs a little more makes me feel good.

tl;dr I feel like GGG when I post good reddit content to Facebook.

[–]MrMoustachio -1 points0 points ago

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

For using social media as an image sharing site. It's no different than using reddit as a personal facebook or trying to contact people through posts (which we have banning and rules against because it was such a problem). You wouldn't use an apple as a screwdriver without being called an idiot either. Right task, right tool.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

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

You ever thought they might not be aware of Reddit's existence? Or they're just not really a technical person so they only use their computer for Facebook/Shopping etc? My Mum uses Facebook all the time and she wouldn't have a clue what an image sharing site was if it hit her in the face.

Isn't it possible that they saw a funny picture on the internet and decided to share it with their friends?

Maybe those people will now join Reddit because they want to see more funny pictures/rage comics whatever.

Don't confuse ignorance with stupidity.

To further your analogy, you'd be forgiven for using the wrong tool for a job if you weren't aware of the correct tool's existence.

[–]MrMoustachio 0 points1 point ago

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

So you also think ignorance is a defense in a court of law? "Oh, I didn't know that was illegal!" Ignorance is never a defense.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

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

Of course Ignorance can be used as an excuse in certain circumstances. Do you honestly expect every single person who uses Facebook to be completely Internet literate and know what Reddit and Imgur is?

You're basically saying that casual Internet uses shouldn't be allowed to post funny pictures on Facebook, every single one of them should have to have a Reddit account if they want to enjoy funny pictures online.

THEY ARE ON REDDIT. If they want me to see it, we have this nifty friends button on here. And no, you aren't allowed to use a SOCIAL MEDIA site as an IMAGE SHARING SITE without people calling you a fucking idiot. Need an example of this holding true on here? Look at anytime people used this site as personal communications or as their personal facebook. Downvoted to oblivion, tons of hate in the comments. If you think it's okay to put 50 imgur links on your FB but give people on here shit for making posts aimed at one friend, you're a fucking idiot. Oh, and this became such a problem on here subs like r/pics have rules banning it. Checkmate, mate.

[–]luxVita 3 points4 points ago

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

Oh man it seems I've struck a nerve. So it's wrong of me to post a link from reddit that the majority of my non-redditor friends wouldn't usually see? I suppose I'm a horrible person then.

Dude, you're very upset about this, just chill and deal with it. If you don't like it, why not just block their posts from your feed or, you know, delete them if you can't show a tiny amount of tolerance.

Pretty much all I got out of your post brah.

[–]MrMoustachio 0 points1 point ago

Yeah keep using cute cartoons to ignore your total hypocrisy. Once again, you don't use reddit as facebook and follow the rules here, yet you think using facebook as reddit is somehow different. Get a fucking clue.

[–]shamrocker124 0 points1 point ago

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

This.

Of the however many friends I've accumulated on fb, I'm only sure that a handful of them are redditors, most notably (not redditors) my parents, aunts and uncles and my parents' friends.

And besides, it's fucking facebook. If I see something that I think people I know will get a chuckle out of, or a link to a majorly important news story that I think everyone should take a look at, I link to it, and note that I found whatever it is on reddit, giving people the option of just clicking the link, checking reddit out of shear curiosity.

This also leaves a third option, which is what I do when I see something I didn't want to see on my news feed: keep scrolling down without getting all pissy pants and cluttering up everyone else's news feed with whiny pretentious bullshit.
