Hi, I'm new here. Well, sorta new. I've been lurking around for a few weeks here. Been trying to find an alternative to reddit for a little while now.

Honestly, I've hated reddit for a long time, but I haven't been sure anything is better. I first went to reddit because it was sold as this place where discussion and ideas were exchanged more freely and maturely. I liked that because when I was young I liked browsing internet forums trying to find people who shared the same interests as me, only to find that every forum on the internet is a toxic mess. I quickly realized Reddit wasn't all that great either, but it was still an improvement so I've stuck around ever since. It has since degraded into a place where I find all the things that satisfy my dark sense of humor.

Now it's more of a mess than ever. It's a mixture of people being overly-PC with people being overly obnoxious assholes who claim to be fighting those PC people. The middle ground is gone and I find myself constantly rolling my eyes wherever I go. But hey, still some funny pictures, right?

I've been checking out voat as well, but I lurk through the comments and it seems like a lot of the obnoxiousness of reddit has spilled over there. Not to mention a majority of it is just an anti-reddit circle jerk. So is this the right kind of place for me? How would you describe it?
