A place for my thoughts. Maybe yours. Maybe we can talk. It's up to you and whether or not you post here.

Just don't be a jerk.

I rarely, if ever, upvoted/downvoted on Reddit. I was content with the Frontpage and Popular content so I didn't spend a lot of time in New except in smaller, slowing moving subs. Because of that, my votes wouldn't have mattered anyway, so I never clicked those arrows.

But here, where I'm not seeing many things with more than a couple hundred of votes I feel like my opinion matters more for shaping what shows first.

It's gonna take some getting used to...

Browsing “new” on Reddit was a painful experience, mainly just due to a huge torrent of low quality posts and content. Waiting for hot and popular also has the downside of bot sponsored posts making it higher more often.
