I don't mind SRS and TiA (i'm in both, FWIW mostly because extremists are often their own worst enemies and it's kinda funny to watch them implode). What I find most annoying on Reddit is the number of upvoted troll posts in subs that are trying to have a serious discussion. Not only will jokes get upvoted to the point of burying a serious discussion, but anything that disagrees with the Borg won't see the light of day. It's not just SRS or TiA, it's Socialists, Libertarians, and Unionists. There's very little in the news section after the first ten minutes that doesn't meet the liking of those groups. Not that they're always wrong, but no opinion that doesn't fit the mold of SRS/Lib/Soc/TiA is going to get read. And even if you clear that one, you're still under about 50 spammy trolls posting jokes.
I'm just trying it out.
