What's worse between reddit and 4chan at their lowest

[Vargur]

I got into watchpeopledie without any warning popping up. Does this mean I've been to it before and said yes or does it have no warning? Or does the warning only show up once if you try to enter nsfw subs and then applies to all?

Only quarantined ones have warnings, the rest is normal NSFW. If you can handle porn, you can handle blood or low res street cam footage.

Yeah but when I entered some nsfw sub I remember that it was giving me a warning to verify that I'm over 18 I think? I didn't get that on watchpeopledie.


Fuck, that sub makes me scared of elevators.

I like how the concept of unmoderated free speech is so scary for some people. 4chan is nothing more than just a mirror into real human nature. That is, how people act when they don't have to be worried about people hunting them down in real life and getting them fired for an internet comment. The only way you can be completely honest is when you're anonymous.

It's also good for healthy debates. When you say something, you won't have an idiot look up your post history or WoW armory trying to find something to discredit you. Even a name can lead to prejudice. It also won't help you if you have a 8 years old account with your own group of fanboys that reply to every post you make to support you. On 4chan, there is nothing else but your comment.

Uh, are we looking at the same sub?

Yup. I recall GameJournoPros being a thing.

[Stormspellz]

The_donald is mostly just sad.

its more then sad, its actually rather terrifying willful ignorance is one thing, but mixed with cruelty and stupidity its a whole different monster

First post:

My daughter's sliding door makes a loud groaning sound at the end of the closing cycle. Noise is from the rear end of the door closing mechanism, probably behind the interior trim panel. A beeping is then heard and the door doesn't quite close. (Gives a door ajar warning). It can then be pushed the last few mm to close. Found nothing blocking the path of travel. Dry lubed the tracks and latches. Any ideas?

Second post:

Issue 1: I hear a sound coming from the rear area underneath that sounds like a thump, sometimes like a horn that's quiet and quarter of a second, or like a small rock hitting up again metal. Had it looked at and mechabic could not hear the noise. Checked suspension and everything seemed good. Seems to always happen leaving the house going up a small hill.
Issue 2: I have 8000km on my car. Whenever I use the breaks for slowing, they are squealing. Doesn't matter if it is a wet day or dry day. What gives?

Third:

I'm looking into buying a used car in the $7k-10k range. I'm mainly looking into mid-sized sedans, and so far a 2011-2013 Kia Optima is my #1 choice. But, so far the majority of them have 70k-100k miles on them.
I was wondering if anyone here owns a Kia Optima with 70k+ miles on it, and if they've had any major issues with the car. My main concern with buying a used car isn't the monthly payment, but the risk of costly repairs. I've read that they're very reliable cars, but I imagine after 100k miles, the vast majority of cars will start to have issues (unless you're driving a Toyota or Honda, apparently).

They're talking about cars?

Which is precisely why reddit is worse. You cannot track who is saying what on 4chan, so you never know whether it is someone just pissing into the ocean of piss, or whether they are serious. Where on reddit, you can track users, showing the pattern of behavior.

there have been videos of kids being beaten to death with a baseball bat on 4chan just because someone wanted to post it and other wanted to see it

reddit at its worst is just not that bad

These things can be on both sites.
Reddit has some disturbingly specific subreddits, like /r/cutefemalecorpses.

KiA stabds for kotaku in action lol. KIA is the brand of cars.

Well, that explains it. I thought you meant just kia and not kotaku in action.

Reddit, pretends its "morally better" it isn't.

Plus with cancer like Subredditdrama and that legion of ShitredditSays types, its pure cancer of shadowbanning, thought policing and mods with power trips.

[Mellrod]

Well as a whole (and not differentiating the smaller communities of both sites) both communities have caused or been involved with murders, suicides, cyberbullying, harassment, stalking on insanely creepy levels, outrage over the most trivial of things, and other generally immature antics. Both can be/are pretty racist, biased, and have a sort of echo-chamber & mob mentality effect on the community that promotes these things.

I think the differences lie in the fact that 4chan is a more lawless, wild west kind of place, so that community does the things it does because no one is stopping them (and the very nature of the site itself promotes this). Whereas Reddit's atrocities spawn from a mob mentality created when someone or something, deliberately or not, challenges the narratives and/or egos that the majority of Reddit's demographic has in their heads, whether that be about a specific situation, or just political opinions in general.Painting with a broad brush here, but the stereotypes for both communities (4chan being a pack of impish, pasty 13 year olds trying to be edgy, and Reddit being insecure man-children who can't handle outside opinions to proportions you normally associate with Tumblr) ring true for their motives when it comes to despicable acts. With that in mind, it's really hard not to turn the twin communities into superficial characters with those traits.

(TL;DR) While both communities like to consider themselves as distinguished from, and rivals to one another, anyone staring in from the outside can see just how much they're cut from the same cloth. I'd say they are about equal levels of crap. The same goes with Tumblr -- the worst of their community is easily lumped in to complete the trifecta.

Those exist on reddit too homie.

[Fencers]

4Chan by far. Many sub reddits are full of great information and moderation.

[Deathcries]

Who's creator reworded some posters thoughts. That would be my worst.

[Livnthedream]

4chan is Q from Star Trek:



reddit ain't got shit on that.

[StayTuned]

4chan is nothing by now

their last big thing was getting trump elected, but in the last few years they haven't really done much

[Livnthedream]

That wasn't even "4chan". That was /pol/.

[bowchikabow]

4Chan gave birth to anonymous... which has since spread to the other boards. Therefore, 4chan is worse. It spawned what we see before us. It is the source.

[fluffhead]

But I will always have a home on /x/, so I'm a chan person in the end.

/x/ used to be fun but now its just sad, 45 tulpa threads and no more innawoods/urban exploration threads.
