    there's plenty of trash subreddits but there's some great ones like /r/indieheads, /r/hiphopheads (sometimes), and /r/squaredcircle for example

    So isn't there a person above the mods to simply make the subs public again

    Most of the subs have been back up for a few days.

    And yes, they probably could have gone under and re-opened the subs but that wouldn't look good on their part (although they did re-open /r/pics early)

    reddit is one of the worst communities on the internet. Some of the smaller, more niche subs are great, but once they get to a certain number of subscribers they become ripe with shitposters by nature.

    I must be the only one here who thinks these guys are absolute trash gimmicks with no talent whatsoever. I didn't make it through the entire album because they're so god d--- awful. They say the most middle school s--- I have ever heard. Their lyrics are on par with just about some of the worst, I want to say, in rap history. I see no appeal, whatsoever, in their music. To me, SOLELY sounding catchy doesn't cut it. These guys are just a big flop for me. I sincerely tried to listen to them. 0.5/10

    M'negus.... I know. I must be the only one here who thinks these guys aren't absolute trash gimmicks with no talent whatsoever. I made it through the entire album because it's so god d--- euphoric. They say the most Harvard Law School s--- I have ever heard. Their lyrics are on par with just about some of the most well spoken, I want to say, in art rap history. Some see no fire emojis, whatsoever, in their music. To me, SOLELY sounding catchy is GOAT. These guys are are just a big deal for me (as a musician). I sincerely bumped this in the whip fam. :emoji_fire:/10

    No, it's not imploding. It's a scandal people will get over in 2 or 3 weeks.

    Most of the subreddits I visit (ones with <200k subscribers) aren't affected by it one bit.

    word i only browse it for the content, not for the commentary.

    trust each popular post will at least have one "pun train" on it for upvotes, often with recycled jokes. s----s terrible.

    Reddit is so, so s---. Full of awkward, meek, easily-offended punchable nerds with the same s-----y views on everything.

    The best way I've heard it put is "reddit is mostly stupid people pretending to be smart, 4chan is mostly smart people pretending to be stupid."

    4Chan also has some really f----- people, some guy on /b/ was like, "Guess your post number and i'll tell you the coords to a buried body" they found the body and he was later arrested

    Yeah, I read about that. Obviously there's lots of weirdos on 4chan, but there's lots of f----- up s--- on reddit too. Tons of gore subreddits and they have had to shut down s--- like r/jailbait in the past.

    4chan is pretty adamant about uncovering the identities of people posting s--- like that and turning them over to the police though.

    I've seen a thread on 4chan where a guy was looking for something I forget what but in return he would upload hardcore child p---, hope he's been dealt with.
