Fuck Reddit! From what I've seen it's full of idiots and
people getting triggered [or pretending to get triggered]
over everything. I'll stick with Usenet.
Agreed. Despite the trolling and the spam, Usenet is still
completely uncensored. There are some newsreaders that are
excellent for recognizing and eliminating spam, but nothing is
deleted for political or social sensibilities. Some of the
worst anti-Semitism can be found on the Jewish groups, the
nastiest racists on any group that might be of interest to
people of color like myself. You may not like what some say
but at least you have the right to listen or ignore, not have
someone else (perhaps with a agenda) make that choice for you
I suppose everyone has an agenda of some sort but yeah Usenet is
a free space where you can read, ignore, or block posts and not
have somebody play God over a group as a whole. That's why I
left Reddit, posts were being deleted on sensitive topics in
sub-reddits, whilst other people were clearly just posting for
karma.
People do [generally] respect other people's points of views
here... and rightly so, as we are all different. I don't use a
newsreader that scores posts either, as I find since Google
Groups disconnected it's Usenet access, the spam - on the groups
that get it - is manageable. So yeah, Usenet wins when it comes
to social media!
