Not enough user to user interaction on reddit. Sure you talk to them and make pun jokes, but not lasting friends are made. At least me, anyway. I, too, share your hopes!
I highly agree. That site was all about getting upvotes. No one cared who you were or why you were posting. Heck, most of the 'conversations' I had was people telling me how wrong I was to post an opinion. How dare I post something that isn't popular? I guess it's the bottom comment dungeon for me. I admit that sometimes I was wrong and some good responses on rare occasions. Most of the time, I didn't bother posting anything because I didn't want to deal with all the stupid responses. I actually like the fact we can mute those we don't want to respond to us. I hope I never need to use it but it definitely will make people think twice before posting.
