Do you prefer the shroomery over reddit? 2

Hi guys.
I prefer the shroomery 80% (due to meetup subreddit being the only nice thing)
I first used the shroomery in 2010 or 2011 and my account got banned here because I was making super trolly teenage post (I promise I have matured π).
My next experience with the shroomery was in 2016, and I still remember going to the relationship forums and asking alot of advice from something long beard (I foregot his name exactly).
I have alot of found memories here in the pub and the psychedelic experience and, I'm not sure if this was the site but wasn't there something else like for trolling that was underneath the pub??
I do not like reddit because, I feel like the moderators do not do much moderating there and a whole group can just downvote you.
I love the shroomery since there are alot of very very helpfull and non judgemental people here. Lol people there keep calling me a junkie addict because I post in the drugs subreddit.
Anyway I do not hate reddit, and I actually really like the meetup subreddit for my area (really nice people)
PS is Bill O Riley still around??

I've never posted on Reddit, but the few times i've seen Teks and stuff related to what we do here they've generally been misinformed/behind the curve.
Bill is still here i'm pretty sure he posted in Psych Experience fairly often.

Ive been to Reddit a couple times. I just couldnt get into the format of it. Too used to Shroomery and other forums 
"long beard" you mean Jokeshopbeard? Hes still around. Bill Oreliey sadly got banned for trolling. Not sure for how long (i didnt ban him).

What kind of question is that
Reddit is a news service/SM platform.
This here is a community...or at least feels that way most of the time.

Some small communities on there can be alright. But the downvote button empowers idiots too much.

Yeah.
Reddit can be *decent*, for instance, there are a few crypocurrency specific subs (tezos for instance) that I find really informative and don't have all the immature bullshit going on.
For a lot of subs though, reddit is just a festering cesspool of incompetence and underage idiocy

I spend entirely too much time on reddit, my roommate also constantly listens to youtube videos of weird /r/askreddit threads at home on her phone - at it's best it's a great resource, at it's worst it's a pretentious witch-hunty echo chamber. I think it's better for binge reading and finding rabbit holes to go down and read about, my local subreddit is chill, and pretty useful for finding out info and even meeting up with people. I found some other people there who came up with a drink and draw group at a bar down the street from me, that was a nice find as someone who was new to town.
It doesn't replace the community of shroomery though. Sometimes shroomery feels like I'm bullshitting around with old friends and that's somethin' special.

The up/downvote system on reddit is terrible, subreddits seem to be a bunch of different echo chambers, I find it hard to have an actual discussion with people when we have different opinions there. I prefer forums so I came here to check this place out.

Reddit is trash - full of corporate and political shills. The Chinese CP just gave them like 300 mil. And it's full of retarded left wing progressive Americans

Depends where you hang out. There are some nice low key, and helpful subreddits there(/r/plantedtank shoutout!), but never the political ones. They're hot garbage and it just feels like someone is trying to brainwash me when I go through them.
...And I'm a retarded left wing progressive American, so that's saying something. But it's not limited to the left, for sure, there's a fair amount of right wing brainwashing that goes on there as well.

It's funny on the Canada subreddit, you'll find some people convinced the whole sub is super right wing, and others who are equally convinced that it's super left wing. Nuance is tough.

I've never even thought about using reddit for mycology π
I've been away from the forum, and the hobby for quite a few years due to my last apartment.
But I've been here since before RR got his container in the ground, however long ago that was.
And shroomery is hands down the best. When you consider the core members knowledge alone, it's basically the only encyclopedia you'll ever need on the subject π
-------------------- I used to know quite a bit about mycology. I also used to know my old username and email, but then I lost my mind π I found my mind again, but it was lacking in info when I got it back, so here I am, a noob againπ

One cool thing here is the continuity. You can bump a 20 year old thread and someone who participated in it might still be around. On Reddit there is no bumping of discussions.
Reddit does have some small communities that can be fairly tight knit but it only takes a few people anonymously downvoting to sow hostility.

Reddit is ok for browsing from time to time. There are some decent subs but the mush cult subs are retarded. You get downvoted into oblivion if you point out outdated info and suggest something different. A lot of them think Stamets is God and that his books are 100% the best resource for growing mush.
They have some sporetrading subs that are decent. I'm sure most the active users on those subs are also shroomery users.

Reddit is my go to for information on a lot of stuff... from travel info to product reviews, Injury/PT regimens, drug dosage stuff and plenty more
I just google the term and then reddit, like "Vogek grow lamp reddit", "Guyot campsite nh reddit", "mdma 80mg reddit"
Can get some pretty unique results and info/perspectives on so many things that are hard to find elsewhere.
I'd never post there though, I hate the interface. Doesn't really feel like a community, seems like a competition for likes on a lot of stuff. I'm sure some of the smaller subs are cool, but shroomery is enough for me
