Title: What are your thoughts on Reddit?
Post by: Warmsignal on January 26, 2020, 08:19:05 pm
Nowadays, I can't stand that place. I don't know what it is, but almost every sub-reddit community I've tried to engage with is super toxic. To me it seems like the people are on there just looking to troll, or flame any post. On Reddit it's absolute herd mentality required, or you become a target rampant abuse and down-voting (which effects the karma score they give your account). This is even the case in a lot of the gaming sub-reddits there. It's like you can't post anything without someone doing some kind of mental gymnastic so that they can flame you, and it's usually some snob who's time is much too valuable to "explain" to you why you're wrong about something, and apparently a moron to boot.

I just freakin' hate the place. Which is sad, because I use to love it. Then it got super mainstream and it changed. It's a far cry from this tight-knit community here at VG Collect, where even though we may have differing opinions, we're still decent to everybody and keep the drama to a minimum. Reddit would never be able to replace small communities like this.

Do you have any experience with Reddit? Do you like it, or dislike it?

It's fine, it's no worse than most other public social media platforms.  You are right that it's worst than here though, but it's because we are just a much smaller group and is a place that draws in more like-minded individuals.  Reddit just has problems because of how many people can be involved.  Like we can just look at the numbers, where VGCollect had only around 2k people at the most online ever, and the majority of those folks don't interact in the forums.  Compare that to say the Nintendo Switch Reddit, where there at 6k online right now on a casual Sunday night.  Just gonna find more frustrating types like that there.

I've generally enjoyed my last four or so years on it, I post occasionally and I've had some good interactions on the site. I've even seen some of the folks from VGCollect over on Reddit too. That being said, I don't like to engage too much on the platform exactly for the reasons you stated above. I only ever look at four to five subs and even so, people will infiltrate my little Reddit bubble with idle banter or heavy trolling.

Looking at ANY of the mainstream stuff like on their homepage is difficult to do though as most of the people on mainstream Reddit are extremely one sided as well as very abusive to one another. It's honestly the cesspool of the entire internet in that regard.

That's why I like this site, it's relatively small, lots of folks contribute to the database and I generally think there is good conversation in the forums. Lots of the people who were active when I joined the site five years ago are still active to this day, with lots of new quality members as well. The forums here are awesome, with only a handful of posts coming off as trollish or pedantic.

I don't have an account with them. but that name Reddit makes be paranoid,. I knew of another great community called the Amazon Classic Rock forum, although not as popular as this one is. It was a great community but vary fewer people go to it. and I left because I got board with that forum.

Reddit reminds me of regedit in which is a command to go into a windows computers registry that all you guys need to know

As for amazon classic rock forum it there are no direct google links and none monitors that forum and probably don't exist anymore

I've never posted on Reddit. I read stuff from time to time, if it turns up in search results for something I'm trying to figure out. It's fine, I guess- I prefer more specialized communities for my forum content- just like this one. A lot smaller, a lot slower, makes it easier to keep up with everything- and, I think the smaller size & scope keeps people on a more even keel. If I want a flame war kinda situation, I'll do it on twitter where I can block/mute everything when I'm tired of it. :P

Pretty much this. The only reason, and I literally mean the only reason I still have a facebook account is because I belong to a great retro gaming group I really like. If not for this I'd delete it in a heartbeat. As for Reddit, I've never been a fan. I don't like the format, I don't like the people, and just in general I've found it to be an inferior site.

This.  I’m a member of a select few subreddits (only recently, actually) and it’s fine, because of what I’ve chosen to talk about, and they have mods that actually enforce rules.

Usually the better reddits are the game specific ones most of the time.  Like R/Videogames or whatever the general big one for that is awful, I stopped check it years ago, but I check out like Monster Hunter World, Battlefield V (Which is in kind of a bad place right now due to bad dev decisions), and a couple others once in awhile and sometimes interact, because they come across as better pages as the people who want to be there, actually want to be there.

I've been on Reddit once, and it was because a friend sent me a link to a forum that taught me how to battle in Xenoblade 2. This was before all of the game's patches were implemented, so the tutorials were only shown once. Which, by the way, weren't very helpful. But, that's another story.

Otherwise, I've never been on it. I feel like it's just another forum to keep up with. I have enough of those.

I'll say I actually enjoy reddit. I find with most forums, and to be honest this one included sometimes, I often feel like I'm just talking at a wall. I feel like everyone just talks at each other and there's very little actual communication. That said, this forum is far better than most (hence I'm still here once in a awhile). Reddit just makes it a bit easier to have conversations inside a thread. I don't care much for the upvoting/downvoting, but if you filter in each subreddit for "new" you get new posts.

My favorites are probably r/retrogaming and r/shmups. R/gamecollecting is kind of a joke these days. It's all 13 year old posting a picture of their (dad's) N64 on the floor with a 19 inch CRT playing Donkey Kong 64 with the caption "I'm 13 y.o., how's my collection so far!?10010!!!"... and a bunch of "I found these 10 worthless games at good will for 75 cents" kinda stuff. There's some good parody posts lately though so maybe the community's shifting.

I do feel you don't really get to know or recognize anyone though. Which is a plus to forums like this where you get to count on certain people providing the right info, unique perspective, or humor. I wish I had more time to get involved and interact more with this community. Love this place! But, reddit has a place too I suppose.

In some cases, I can attest to the lonely feel on forums like this one. Some of the other forums I've frequented implement a feature for sending "rep", which is essentially a way of privately letting someone know that you liked their post and if so inclined, you can leave as comment as to why you rep'd, or not. It's a nice way of feeling like your inputs are read or valued on a forum where post quoting every single time is not feasible. I think VGC could use a feature like that. If I'm not mistaken, I think this forum build might be the same one others have used which implement the rep feature. Perhaps it's an option?

I understand where dharmajones93 is coming from; given the anonymous aspect of the Internet, the analogy that sometimes we could feel like we're "talking to a wall" in places like this (i.e. forums) is quite accurate—I can understand one could feel ignored after making a post. But, at the end of the day, is it really necessary to expect a "thanks", so to speak, from anyone that read your comment/post? The main reason, I believe, we visit and participate in these kind of places is to interact with others that share our hobby, and by and large that's exactly what we end up doing, so making an e-friend or two is a bonus. And mind you, by "thanks" I mean getting your comment/post noticed or replied to; I don't mean "thanks" in the literal sense, although I guess could also apply.

With that said, I'm well aware of forums with a "reputation system", and believe it's a useless feature that ultimately becomes a popularity contest and a way to promote an "elite" community—the “cool kids club” if we’re to give it a name. A good number of people in forums already think they're better than everyone else the bigger their post count is, so certainly a rep system will make that far more enjoyable. And sure, one could say a system like that would help to "flag" bad users (i.e. trolls), but there's already a report feature set in place, so that angle becomes moot fast. Not to mention that a system like that lends itself for negative usage; and quite frankly, this website is long overdue of proper, genuine updates, so the least it needs is something as superfluous as a point system for the sake of adding something new.

Yeah pretty much this. Can't all be perfect. It's nobodies fault, just a limitation of the format I suppose.

I know this will sound mean, trust me when I say it’s not my intention, but; are you here to interact and share your love for the hobby or looking for validation? Granted, one could make the argument we as human beings look for validation in some form or another, but your comments/posts are being read by someone, I’m sure of that. I would guess that since most threads around here tend to be in the form of a question—this one being a good example—that’s why you’ll see some make posts that read as if they hadn’t read any of the other replies, which I admit I’m guilty of, but do try to not do as much.

All in all, I think you shouldn't get too hung up on whether your posts get read or not; I think being a part of the community is incentive enough—you're interacting with your peers as it is and are bound to be reciprocated in return one way or another.

I like the Atariage take on 'rep', although I'm quite sure it's not something in this forum's setup- each post has a button at the bottom allowing you to choose from 5 symbols: Like, Thanks, Haha, Confused, Sad. It allows for someone to comment on a post without having to quote it & add a short reply that ultimately doesn't contribute to the conversation. The actual 'reputation' number is only viewable on a person's profile, can't go down, & has no bearing on anything else on the site- so it really doesn't come into play.

As far as the 'talking to a wall' thing... I'm actually SUPER OK with that. Maybe my situation is more unique, but in-depth discussion of gaming stuff, especially retro or collector issues, isn't something I can do 'in real life'. I can talk games with friends, sure, but it's limited mostly to Monster Hunter & whatever might be in the news currently. Nobody cares about, say, the Intellivision Amico or trying to find the perfect storage solution for handheld carts, or what-not. Forums like this one give me a chance to get those thoughts out without feeling like I'm bothering anybody. I probably worry too much about bothering people, so online posts mean I can relax- I'll be easy to ignore (and won't even know it's happening!) Maybe somebody reads it & cares. Maybe not. Either way, I feel a lot better getting stuff written out instead of letting it swirl around in my head.

I think I'm not saying it right. I'm here to have a conversation, not get recognition or a reply/validation. Like, we're having a meaningful conversation; however, in most threads there isn't, in my sole experience, this level of conversation.

I feel like I'm talking to a wall in the sense that the OP will post a comment, and rather than conversation, there's 30 people throwing there answer at the OP, but not talking amongst themselves. Again, this forum is better than most. I don't need to be heard, and I don't come to forums to share my opinions, rather to share experiences and conversations remotely, to elevate conversations not just to say out loud the same thoughts that bounce around in my head in the hope that someone will validate it. It's exactly the interaction that I'm looking for but find so rarely. In fact sometimes is the opposite, I might respond to a comment and have the person be like "hey bud I came here to say my peace not have a conversation," or at worse you get verbally abused. Which are fine, except the abuse but it's rare. I'm pointing out the worst things of course, but these are my observations.

But in terms of Reddit, a superficial "thumbs up" is the last thing I need, except that in reddit there is value in that more people might see it and desire to engage. But in practice I don't think that's how it plays out. You're definitely right about the popularity contest piece of it which might even go as far as to dissuade people from participating.

The beauty of the format is you really can participate however you want. I know personally my friends could care less about some obscure PC Engine STG, but at least here I can at least read and even participate. I for one enjoy your posts and unique perspective!

Over at Sega-16, the rep system is certainly not used as any kind of popularity contest. It's a small community of regulars like here, only you can rep posts. There's no popular, or unpopular members, everybody reps occasionally and nobody pays attention to the number. It's more just like "Oh, somebody liked my contribution... cool", and then you move along. For something a small as that, even a schmuck like me feels like a valued member of that community. A little validation doesn't hurt.

I'm never sure how the posts I make here are landing - are they annoying at all, informative at all, amusing at all? Is there some kind of value to them? I like to share what I'm doing with others, because there's nobody IRL who cares about this little obsession of mine. The Internet inspired me to take this hobby seriously, and it's the Internet I look towards to share my experience of it with. What isn't more fun when you can share it with someone? I enjoy my time here, and I think we have a fine little group of regulars, but the sense of community is different from what I've experienced elsewhere. The feel here has an air of Q&A and formality.

...I'm digressing.

Lousy Reddit.

All of these talk reminds me of Sally Fields at the Oscars in 1985 and that unforgettable quote of hers...

I think putting too much importance on whether your posts land or not seems otiose. If your posts are an honest representation of yourself, the rest should fall into place. The point of contention here that this forum lacks a sense of conversation is kind of lacking since that's exactly what I see taking place around here. All that this discussion has brought forth is a need for approval, which seems kind of childish.

In this day and age online messaged boards are very much outdated, essentially a dead horse by this point in time, so we should count our blessings the fact there's any traction. I personally think we have a rather close-knit group here.

A little validation doesn't hurt.

Yes. It can.

We're not talking exclusively about here, as in VGCollect, though, or at least I wasn't. I made a point to say this forum didn't. I meant the format of an open forum vs. reddit. Which is why I said it's a "limitation of the format" not a limitation of VGCollect. I don't think any of us are seeking approval or validation, but we see value in approval and validation from a community in which we want to feel we belong. I personally despise 99% of social media but I see some value in the way reddit is formatted. While forums like these are dying I agree, I think we can all agree that we find some value in VGCollect. Enough to keep us around.

I probably worry too much about bothering people, so online posts mean I can relax- I'll be easy to ignore (and won't even know it's happening!) Maybe somebody reads it & cares. Maybe not. Either way, I feel a lot better getting stuff written out instead of letting it swirl around in my head.

I read everyone's post I enjoy it :)

I enjoy using Reddit, but also noticed a shift for the worse happened around 2014-present, current news threads make their way on nearly every non-political community. I unsubscribed to majority of the the default subreddits, and I'm regularly on /r/retrogaming plus a few other console specific communities. One highlight is the /r/gamesale, had plenty of great transactions that went smooth sailing.
