I find myself logging into reddit maybe once a day, seeing my inbox blown up with arguments from strangers that have WAY too much time to argue trivial topics, and proceed to close it out and carry on with my life.

Sounds like you're saying dumb shit on reddit. :tongue:

It's a good site, they fucked up the algorithm though, so it's not nearly as good as it was like 5 years ago. And as they try to monetize, the site is only getting worse. The internet is ready for a replacement, maybe it already exists?

The only time I have used Reddit for Myco related information was during the Great Shroomery Outage of 2019. It was somewhat horrifying.
There are indeed people here with a somewhat superiority mentality but the info I find is, for the most part, consistent and inform. That is backed by more than anecdotal evidence or at least multiple sources. And I have found Shroomery to be much more welcoming. A true community instead of a bunch of random idea spray painted on the side of a building. Again, not all but for the most part, a sincerely caring and helpful group of people. As welcoming as the astrophotography community. As encouraging and inspiring as the blacksmithing community.
Perhaps we are just experiencing different parts of this site and taking away different things. Or maybe I just wasn't on here when it was better so I have a skewed frame of reference. Perhaps i just read the wrong part of Reddit and only encountered the worst of their members. For what I have seen of both however, I am quite curious as to what brought on this change of heart for you?

Reddit is used for astroturfing like crazy just look at the things that continuously get to the front page and ask yourself it you hear much about any of it irl

It's definitely out of hand, and the site is in decline as a result. The specific subs I like aren't really that affected though, it's the front page that's total garbage, and the various political and news subs are dog shit.

Reddit is essentially troll central though. You can't have an actual debate or discussion without it devolving into total shit. Shroomery is like 5 steps above that still lol.

Anyone that's spent a few months on Shroomery is automatically the equivalent of RR on /r/shrooms in regards to the knowledge of people over there

Anyone thats migrated from /r/shrooms over to Shroomery is usually making a thread with a question more advanced than "is this cobweb?"

Also /r/shrooms is filled with kids doing that stupid Uncle Ben's rice bag "TEK"... hive mind gang
