What exactly is Reddit? Is this a good source for news? Genuinely asking. Never use it, but I thought it was just a large internet comment section.

I might pop a bottle of champagne on 1.21.2021 to celebrate us all moving on with our lives. Trump, you lost, its ok bro. It happens sometimes.

It is a social media thing like. And really it is really not fair for banning people even though you try to go by the rules all due to one person not liking your post or you even. I have been banned on nine forums of Reddit. Really just at times crosses a line and way too strict.

Reddit fuels a large quantity bullshit on the internet...conspiracy theories, fake news, lying ass bitches who claim to be experts, etc

It’s really the worst

Lol sunnyside finally upset about protesters while silent the last year

I’ll go with, “these weren’t actually protesters but outside influencers, not actual protesters”

Also I was told this was Russian disinformation and not actual news worthy by the media:

The Justice Department’s subpoena to Hunter Biden sought information involving more than two dozen entities to examine some of his foreign business ties, including with Ukrainian gas company Burisma.

Are you asking why Bill Barr's heavily politicized Justice Dept. is looking to investigate every business Hunter Biden is involved in?

Is this a serious question?

They do, much like many massive community websites, Reddit has its' fair share of problems with unsavory communities using the platform.

What Chico won't tell you about are some of the small benefits Reddit offers.

A lot of news companies will source their news from Reddit, and you can even find newsworthy bits on there that won't receive mainstream coverage.

I also find Reddit to be a valuable resource for specific interests I have, as they have a very knowledgeable user base in many different subjects. Examples for me include sports, video games, photography, automotive/mechanical discussion, etc. They can be very helpful when you have a question but you don't know any experts on the subject.

And of course, if you like porn Reddit has a large community built around that too, I'm pretty sure that's how they started IIRC.

Also what's funny about Chico's post that I quoted, we both agree Reddit can be a source of bullshit, conspiracy theories, etc. but I guarantee you he's referring to the left, and I'm referring to the right. For years Reddit admins didn't do anything when radical conservatives were doxxing liberal users and using massive upvoting/downvoting to push their content to the front page, it was only when their radical communities started receiving media attention that they shut down subreddits like The_Donald/etc.
