I really would visit reddit more if the UX wasn't so horrible. I feel the same way about RapGenius. Great services, horrible user experience.

Tip: You can disable subreddit styles in your profile. Makes the whole thing a lot nicer imo.

I'll take a gander, thanks.

LOL. I just saw the first slide and I had to up vote it :-D

Not to come across as aggressive but people like you are the reason why I stay away from Reddit nowadays. It's become an awful place to visit. Just look at /r/atheism. No real discussion, just poorly used memes.

HN was created to emulate Reddit's early days so please don't bring behavior like that here.

To be fair, once you get beyond the default front-page subscriptions, and dive into the long tail of subreddits, you'll find a great deal of compelling discussion on reddit.

I find reddit to be a bastion of 'traditional' internet discourse, with all the positive and negative qualities that implies: sure, there's lots of spam, flamewars, and trolling, but there are also coherent social spaces, opportunities for depth and ongoing dialogue, and interface mechanics that prioritize substance over flashy aesthetics.

Even if it's not quite the Usenet of yesteryear, reddit is certainly superior to the disjointed and simplistic forms of inaptly-named 'social media' we see on Facebook or Twitter.

If you're frustrated by the lack of discussion on /r/atheism check out http://www.reddit.com/r/TrueAtheism/

Some people just don't have any sense for humour. Don't laugh! Don't have fun! Be serious! Because the world is not serious enough!
