Reddit

I live under a rock:

How do I Reddit? Good places to start?

It seems like all of the actual information is posted on there anyway.

just go to reddit.com/r/pathofexile ?

you don't need to register to view anything. posting does though.

if you register and login you can manage your subreddits and customize your main page. it will only show posts from subreddits you subscribe.

I saw.
I shrugged.

This was almost exactly the reaction I had.

The only difference is that I scratched my head between seeing and shrugging.

Be ready to drown in a sea of tears and negativity on Reddit, it happens on occasion, daily.

Really? Because in my experience, all the pointless, hateful negativity on Reddit sinks like a fucking stone.

Legitimate criticism fares well.

How to reddit?

Your opinion is the best.

Try to put down people who disagree with you!

Because when you give up on your opinion, you die irl

It's a site filled with subforums ran by whoever created the sub forum and whoever they appoint as mods. Meaning you will pretty much run the gambit on good and absolutely awful forums.

Most of the time the mods have some kind of shitty agenda and will prune posts and threads they don't like, or enforce tyrannical rules. The post system have like a point system that bumps threads up to the top, so if the community there doesn't like what you are saying they will downvote your thread into oblivion, so even without mods it can be bad.

Then you have the polar opposite,/vg/. Which has virtually no moderation, or system to downvote posts, and is completely anonymous. Which means real discussion CAN happen but almost always lost in a sea of trolling and just shitposts.

tl;dr everyone online community sucks for PoE
