OK the problem with reddit

1. downvotes 2. anonymity 3. hive mind 4. lowest common denominator 5. size 6. racism 7. sexism 8. the idea that people think because they don't subscribe to the dodgy subreddits it some how negates them as begin part of reddit. IE "oh reddit is a great place" "what about the CP?" "oh i don't sub to that so its ok. erm freedom of speach"

I am not saying it doesn't have good points too

1. Size 2. Variety 3. usefull subreddits 4. accumulation of content 5. filtering 6. momentum 7. alternative news 8. critique 8. investigation

Anonymity is a plus in my opinion.

Oh, and the loli/shota policies of the admins is bullshit.

So in problem number 8, you're proposing that anyone who has an account on reddit.com condones CP? There are a lot of people who didn't even know about it until SRS and Gawker started pointing it out, myself included.

Wait a sec, 52 days ago? You weren't around for when SRS's project panda started up and succeeded in cleansing reddit in the name of the glorious BRD...
