For those who use Reddit - your favorite subreddits?

[TheHatedOne]

What are your favorite subreddits? While Reddit is pretty much shit, I remember r/lifeisagift which has to be my all time favorite. I feel that sub is the only positive thing about Reddit.

I don't use Reddit anymore but vegancirclejerk, collapse and antinatalism were probably my most frequented subs. I think Reddit can good for hobby related stuff but the big subs and news stuff was affecting my mental health way too much.

 

[tardis]

r/badphilosophy is decent in small doses.

 

[Mixo]

r/antinatalism
r/misanthropy **
r/wallstreetbets
r/latestagecapitalism
r/antiwork **
r/crazyfuckingvideos **
r/shittyfoodporn
r/blackmagicfuckery
r/oddlysatisfying
r/showerthoughts

I personally love reddit.

I have read a lot of bad stuff about reddit in this forum. Mean comments about suicidality. When I tried to quit this forum I considered to join reddit. (I think the layout is kind of weird.)
Moreover there are subreddits like watchpeopledying. When I was a teenager i had another view about such gore. Now I think this is horrible and mostly immoral. Another reason why I don't want to join reddit.

The collapse is going to take too long.

Reddit is just a gigantic forum made of disparetely-themed sub-forums, they have all sorts of weird, wholesome, mundane or immoral content in there. What you won't find is far-right content, because they are famously skewed to the other side. Overall, to me there is something sinister about reddit. At least when I visited BestGore I knew what I was getting into, but with these cutesy, innocent-looking mainstream applications you always end up with something depraved or deranged underneath the facade.

Definitely gore subreddits do not represent reddit. I would say memes, "left-wing activism" and pornography come closer to a good representation.

I read these way too fast and got a little concerned.

I never liked that site too much, I use it for convenience, but if I had to say a few then r/SummonSign, a subreddit to ask for help in Souls games, I met a lot of great people there and well, I see positive and funny helping other players with bosses or difficult areas in NG+ 4, 5, 6, 7... An encounter I like to remember a lot is when several responded to my post to defeat Midir in NG+ 6, we died several times but it was awesome, it was like palying Monter Hunter because most of us carried huge weapons lol.

I've also been on r/Falcom and r/Megaten a bit, I've had some interesting discussions there but I still prefer groups on the same topics on other sites.

 

[Crazy4u]

I like reddit despite all its flaws and I am active in many communities. My favorites are:

r/adhdmeme
r/anxietymemes
r/aww
r/Bad_Cop_No_Donut
r/CPTSD
r/depression_memes
r/SuicideMeme
r/Pomeranians

 

[CrestfallenMima]

Collapse - It sure makes me happy knowing that if I do ctb at least I won't miss out on anything
TrueAntinatalists - While it does not have a lot of activity at least it isn't just Twitter screenshots and people complaining about random people having kids like r/antinatalism
Pessimismmemes - Subreddit dedicated to memes about suicide and depression, pretty bleak subreddit to be honest I'm surprised no one mentioned it
Moviescirclejerk - I haven't watched a movie in 3 years but I still find this sub hilarious. I also used to use r/gamescirclejerk and r/hiphopcirclejerk before they went downhill

I also visit some other music and mental health related subreddits.

 

[Mixo]

We can't forget r/sanctionedsuicide (RIP)

 

[CrestfallenMima]

They locked down r/timetogo too, suicidal people can't catch a break on reddit but at least reddit doesn't ban you for just saying you are suicidal like Twitter does

 

[MelancholyMagic]

TrueAntinatalism - While it does not have a lot of activity at least it isn't just Twitter screenshots and people complaining about random people having kids like r/antinatalism

I frequent TrueAntinatalism myself.
r/antinatalism is horrible, and I would recommend nobody goes there. The mods are unreasonable, cruel, and foolish. The content is shallow and repetitive. The best posters have been banned for not toeing the party line of: "it's a hangout space! No arguments allowed whatsoever!". Luckily TrueAntinatalism exists to actually focus on the arguments.

I had the same exact experience their mods are the definition of scum and I had one on one debate with them about some other issue other than antinatalism. It is an understatement to say I was left feeling really disgusted

 

[MelancholyMagic]

I had one on one debate with them about some other issue other than antinatalism.

I did too. It was on a different subreddit, and so they banned me on r/an. Not a huge loss, but I was irritated.

 

[Insomniac]

none. reddit really sucks.

 

[OrcWitch]

I browse /r/cataclysmdda. It's a rogue-like videogame I play, there is lots of nice fan art of the game being posted there.

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

I lurk the Pokémon Unite subreddit quite often. There are some pretty funny memes there and a lot of people making complaints that I share. I wouldn't dare post or comment there though.

These.

I also browsed r/gnostic, r/rats, and the subreddit for my field of work. I quit reddit recently though.

You have any rats? They're seriously the best and most underrated pets!

 

[Foresight]

Yes! We have 7 right now and we've had many rat friends over the years. They are such little characters, and I love watching them interact with each other.

I'm jealous, I'm moving atm and hoping my new apartment allows pets lol.

 

[TheSoulless]

I did like r/lifeisagift also, I remember posting there once. It was when I browsed r/antinatalism every day.

Nowadays many of the comments on Reddit make me cringe, often for no particular reason. Lately I've been visiting a certain good subreddit though.

Found a delicious one from r/lifeisagift:

There's just loads more young kids on reddit the last couple of years sadly. Used to be that they were confined to the big subs and their traffic peaking during the summers, but they are everywhere now.

Sorry, but even though I found this image funny I feel the need to refute every single point it makes:

Spoiler: I know it's going to be irrelevant to the thread so ignore if you want

Step on crunchy leaf: Feels good maybe once or twice but then if you try to find more you end up with more soggy fallen leaves that just feel gross to step on and dirty your shoes.

Q-tip in ear: I personally don't really think this feels good but even if it did, it's not good to do because doctors say doing this just pushes some earwax deeper into your ear where it can get infected or cause other problems.

Feed pet: Not sure how this really makes life a gift. Yeah it's nice to care for something but in a sense, your pet is holding you hostage with its own life because not feeding it is an alternative most people can't accept. Also pet food gets expensive. Also your pet never asked to be born so enforcing this as a positive aspect of life is unethical.

Mom would be sad: Much like the pet scenario this should not be highlighted as a thing that makes life great but more of life finding ways to hold everyone hostage in order to sustain yourself. If your mom chose to have you then she did so out of selfishness without concern for the pain you are guaranteed to experience just by existing. Even if your mom is a great person and parent, you still owe them nothing because they made the selfish decision to bring you into the world in the first place. It's an understandable decision but not necessarily a great one. All that doesn't even get into the scenarios where people's mothers are terrible for whatever reason.

Out of Spite: Guess this is probably the only one I can agree with most but it eventually has diminishing returns especially if whoever you're trying to spite realizes you're suffering more by continuing to live.

Finish tv show: While this is one of my main reasons to stay alive unfortunately life itself is cruel and it's very difficult to actually sustain a comfortable life watching tv show after tv show. People who do so get mocked for wasting their time anyway. Plus at the end of the day every single piece of media no matter how subversive it is only exists to try to sell you something whether it's a product or an idea.

Pasta: Carbohydrates. Life continues to show its cruelty by making something so delicious so bad for most people especially if they want to consume it in large quantities which the food itself invites people to do.

Outlive your enemies: Same as the spite thing. If you truly hate someone, you want to keep their pain going. You may not know it but them dying especially not by your influence feels wholly unsatisfying so it's actually more of a fuck-you to just die or give up on them.

New music: Your mileage may vary on this one. Great if you love certain popular genres but if you're into more niche things then you're shit outta luck here. Especially with classical music, your only chances of finding new forms of it are either to go into more and more obscure composers who might have been unknown for a good reason OR you look up movie soundtracks and hope they didn't add tracks with a ton of dubstep and rap just to appease the masses. Me I love video game music so it means I have to wait for certain games to actually release first while also hoping the companies don't take down the tracks due to copyright.

Inspire others: Inspire them to do what? Not everyone should be so lucky to be heroic or brave in anyway. Most likely the average person will probably only ever get to inspire someone else to be equally mediocre or worse. It's just too easy to inspire people to do bad things these days.

Funny internet pics: More pointless distractions even though they can be funny. They're hardly a blip in what life experiences are and no amount of memes can actually heal true trauma or damage. Plus if you make consuming memes your thing you're probably not going to get ahead anywhere else in life unless maybe you're a content creator but that comes with its own host of issues.

Trampoline fun: Maybe for like an hour or two but it's also dangerous and one unfortunate accident can ruin life too easily.

It will get better: lol

Doing God's work!

Yeah the "it will get better" really gets on my nerves. Oh well, it will get better, I think I will wake up at 6 am tomorrow and go jog outside. Thanks, I know I can trust you, random internet stranger

Also the Q-tip one. I have wonky ear canals so I would get an infection for sure with those. Makes it all the more ironic.

The way I see it, if it can get better it can also get worse and it's more likely to do so. At least, the human mind's natural tendency to amplify negative events will make it seem worse way more often than it will make life seem better.
