What does this have to do with technology?

they are mad that there are normal people that know more about programming and technology that basement dwellers.

While main big reddits are full of leftist mods, small technical boards are really good in quality and content.

fucking go back then!

Edit: Thank's for the gold, kind stranger.

Sup Forums is also owned by a clueless jap, moot is gone and, text boards are gone and mods are literal nazis.
Is there any point of staying on this shitty sit

>leftist
>bad

I want Sup Forums to leave

1. the people there
2. censoring isn't good
the community becomes whatever its members make it
Sup Forums is shit and we made it shit

Reddit users are CIA Niggers and SJW's

leftist is the political equivalent of a cuckold

>Leftist
>Good

i want Tumblr to leave

can you be sure none of Sup Forums’s users are?

For the last few years I've been telling myself I'm only still here out of habit.

But if we left Sup Forums what else can we leave open? No other site has the immediacy.

to be fair the memes are fresher here

yes

Did you not know that our idol on Sup Forums, Richard Stallman, is a leftist that was voting Sanders?

Reddit caters to liberals, women and popular opinion > fact. Fuck that place.

Nobody here uses Linux and we want stallman to be hanged.

Because Sup Forums has to have an enemy. It's the same reason they spend so much time on Tumblr but claim to hate it. They have to have someone to fight against, they have to have a place to tell you to fuck off to. It's all part of maintaining the illusion that Sup Forums is actually good. We're all stuck here because the stream of content is just good enough to satisfy our urges but we all secretly know this place is a fucking garbage dump from the ground up. Reddit is too, it's just way easier to filter out the bullshit and custom-tailor your content stream on Reddit, which is why it's still around despite the fact that it's run by petulant children and shills. The small communities keep it alive just like the big ones keep Sup Forums alive.

Believe me, most of the people telling you to go to reddit go there regularly. /r/The_donald is literally a home base for Sup Forums, but we pretend it's not, because it's all part of the game.

It's funny how his picture has been on the front page for at least two years now

>voting system helps the community to hide idiots
The system isn't hiding idiots, it's hiding less popular opinions. The majority can be wrong, and it often is.

>leftist
>based on emotions rather than facts
>science is sexists/racists/what ever
>disapproves of peer review
>disapproves of critical thinking
>tries to shut down any opposing opinions by labelling people racists/transphobic/misogynist etc
If you're supporting the left you're demonstrably retarded

reddit is blocking, baning and deleting threads each time some non white person is doing killing spree

why not

somethingawful?

Aren't these all right wing characteristics? You fucking idiots still deny climate change. LOL.

All scientists are just lying jews towing the line of the establishment for grant money.

Unless one of them somehow finds a link between abortions and global warming, then the right would probably all simultaneously die from aneurysms because of the confliction.

I know leftists seem to ignore facts and go with the 'feel good's solutions but some of the ideas that they bring are quite logical.
I live in New Zealand. We don't pay much taxes, in fact if you were to add your own state and federal tax together you'd likely be paying a lot more. Nevertheless New Zealand still has a lot of socialist programs in place that help a lot of the less fortunate.

For example there's universal health care, students that want to study get a non repayable student allowance, mothers get paid by the government for the number of children they have, people out of work get paid to get back on their feet. A lot of times I really feel sorry for people in the USA and how unfair it is over there compared to where I live in. It's supposed to be a role model for the world yet it makes some of the most shitty decisions.

>right winger in charge of denying facts
It's funny because a lot of right wingers I know hate GMOs too

The problem is the people on the right have been raised to believe that things like universal healthcare or anything that benefits those less fortunate is a handout and they've been told that any and all handouts are a sign of weakness and they've been told that those handouts are what ruined our economy. The idea of their tax money subsidizing the education of minorities who they view as inferior or healthcare of people they don't agree with bothers them, so they blind themselves to the fact that these programs are always a net positive for society.

>spending GDP on people instead of the military
Spotted the leftist

we don't like his politics we like the software ideology

>we

?

>voting system helps the community to hide idiots
Except it's also used to silence opposing opinions and a few years ago was modified so that companies and other groups could shill and manipulate votes (and therefore what users see) more effectively by removing the total up/down vote listing.

>voting system helps the community to hide idiots
More like censor opinions they don't like.

Also, fun thing is that countries that are often described as the best countries to live in are often quite influenced by socialism, like Sweden and Denmark.

those of us who didn't come here today for the first time to ask for help with their stolen iphone or cry about graphics cards

Why doesn't moot bring back /prog/?

Sup Forums:
nuanced discussion
variety of different opinions
catalogs constantly deliver new threads as opposed to reddit's 24-48 hour front page cycle
reddit:
popularity contest
shills killing discussion everywhere by buying upvotes
all the good subreddits take ages to find since the big ones don't allow niches in any form
owned by govt paid shills
heavily censored

who?

>owned by govt paid shills
If that were really the case then Reddit wouldn't hate Hillary

Isn't every subreddit run by individuals that have nothing to do with Reddit itself?

>Sup Forums:
>no voting system
your participation in a thread is your vote.

subreddits are tyrranies, as is the whole thing. At least you can have a trump thread on Sup Forums without being permabanned
it's a popularocracy

it doesn't matter what scientists say, the right does whatever corporate money wants

Why would I want to participate in a discussion where 90% of people are self-censoring everything they say through a "can't say anything that might get me downvoted" filter and the other 10% get their post silenced instead of discussed?

Seems kinda fucking stupid, and not very conducive to conversation.

>trains google's AI via captchas or helps its map service

Sup Forums is a google botnet.

Modern day Leftists are the equivalent of Hitler's brown shirts. They'll destroy any political gatherings, that don't have their same views, with violence and intimidation.
If you support leftists, you support tyranny.

When I say nigger on Reddit the mods get their panties in a bunch

See this is the difference between leftists and moderates. Notice that this leftists is dumbfounded of the idea that someone would uphold another's idea, even if they disagree with other ideas that person might have.
This is what separates Leftist Extremists and Moderates. Leftists will not listen to someone in any shape or form if they have at least ONE idea that differs from their own.

Hiroyuki is a Hillary supporter too.

I can vouch for this. As a pretty textbook liberal who has some key conservative values, it's hard to have a serious discussion with a lot of people about issues like gun control (which I oppose), and abortion (which I support).

Tired of people trying to shove me in the box in the left or the box on the right and being totally content with their little walled garden. Politics isn't fucking black and white and if you can honestly align all of your beliefs with one side of the fence, you're a simple-minded person.

We have same shit here or in reddit. You can't win always.

I agree that some subreddits are amazingly good places for discussion but they are often eventually plagued by growing userbase which makes them chaotic. In some cases the voting system leads into idiotic hive mind communities where only the popular opinions get surfaced and rest are forgotten or even downvoted, increasingly so on large subreddits. On small subreddits it isn't a problem as it's easy to just read the comments regardless how they received votes but on larger ones you can only stay for the content that is linked/created there and skip the comment section altogether. There are also subreddits where voting is disabled and you can order posts by other criteria than upboats on all of them.

The problem with Sup Forums and all of the popular boards on Sup Forums is the insane amount of baits and shitposting which make these places extremely frustrating to browse. At least addons let you filter and hide the repeated meme shit you don't like but it won't stop idiots ruining even the more interesting threads with their shitposts and the moderation is imo way too forgiving for it. Then again I don't think many people would have the interest to actively and strictly moderate a cesspit like the large boards here are. I know I wouldn't.

Sadly, Sup Forums use to be a place for smart people to act dumb.

It comes in waves, for reasons unknown this summer has been bad for kiddy shitposters and assorted morons. Most of thr time the boards are pretty civil and interesting outside Sup Forums and /r9k/. Even Sup Forums is usually focused and lulzy, for the past month though they've been flooded with newfagging, obvious bait that people fall for, and obvious shills that people respond to as if they were genuine

Yes and no, as I understand it there are regular mods with authority in a single sub reddit, then there are supermoderators there with broad carte Blanche to enforce global policies. The implication is that for along time, willing or not, the supermoderators squelch anything that would get them in political trouble. Thus after a big world event you'll see countless subs have [deleted] for 2000 posts

UCLA supported the KKKs right to assembly. I don't know what the fuck you're on unless you're gonna cherrypick the retarded bernouts or BLM incidents.

>cherrypick
>Majority of liberals
I don't know what universe you're from, but didn't Bernie just nearly go toe-to-toe with Hillary, and only lost probably due to the Boomer vote?

>regular mods with authority in a single sub reddit

reddit only has these.

Assuming you're referring to the admins with "supermoderators", the term is a bit misleading. Moderators are external individuals that the owner of the website put in charge of things. The admins are not moderators, they are the owners themselves. They are part of the reddit company, which is a 500 Million $ corporation. Reddit pays their bills, and it's in their interest to steer it towards profit. Those are the people who can delete anything, can pull the plug on the site tomorrow if they wish so and have to respond to courts if illegal things happen on the site. Like the moderators, they are completely unaccountable to users. That's why it's a tyrrany.

That is what I meant, reddit the corporation had moderators as employees that arent restricted to a single sub. They broadly intervene when something that's a political hot potato gets discussed (and yes, almost always and exclusively for the usual San Fran far left politics goals)

>leftism
>not a mental illness

I don't know anymore. This is kinda dumb. People hold these political views and think those who believe opposite them are majority malicious, misguided, or delusional. It's just draining, man. Whatever if youre a lib or a red, really.

>variety of different opinions
I don't see this happening much.

>catalogs constantly deliver new threads as opposed to reddit's 24-48 hour front page cycle
Looking specifically at Sup Forums, remove the "generals", lol pajeets, lol women, help me fix my ___, help me buy a ___, what programming language should I learn, and finally "how do I hack threads...yeah, then you see some new/original threads.

>They broadly intervene when something that's a political hot potato gets discussed

They don't, not anywhere near as much as the Sup Forums mods do.

When the Orlando shooting happened it wasn't reddit admins censoring the story it was users that happened to be mods on their news board.

>leftist is the political equivalent of a cuckold
Stallman is a communist.

Just get a reddit account you fucking spergs. You can talk about your shitty anime there.

Mods I know you're not here all the time, but come on. Fuck these threads.
