Reddit is good for subreddits that are basically just lists of helpful links (like to coupons or free Kindle books or game deals or so forth); I don't really participate in the community or submit anything though.
I do lurk around r/Frugal a lot, though, because they always post great deals and money-saving tips; like I'm getting $30 off my phone bill now thanks to some thing they posted about AT&T
look you've created the impression that you've got connections to the diplomatic community of reddit
are you going to sit here and break my balls with screenshots or are you actually going to get me on the dog and bone to the smurfen ambassador
trout son I gotta wear reading glasses to even see that screenshot
reddit is mostly awful and its sad how true the "redditor" stereotype seems to be.
having said that i read through some of the subreddits for things related to my degree, but i essentially only use it as a list of links to check out, and i rarely take the time to read comments because they're often awful and filled with lame arguments. it's the same with facebook and twitter, filter out all the crap and only pay attention to the stuff that is interesting.
i wouldnt miss it if it was gone, though, twitter is just as good for study-related link-hunting
What actually is Reddit? I've heard of it, but my social networking extends to Facebook, manning the Winchester Uni LGBT society's twitter and EoFF. What do you do on there?
I don't have an account but I check up on the DayZ Stand Alone updates on it from time to time.

Reddit is super fickle, anything has the potential to succeed depending on the audience it attracts in it's early stages of voting. One of my most upvoted links was a picture of the playstation 2 saying "I have backwards compatiblity", because of teh next gen cerclejerk about backwards compatibly. Most of the content on the biggest sites is very diluted and appeals to the masses rather than a niche. I barely saw any content on the gaming subreddit for lightning returns, but 2-3 year later there is still always something about Skyrim.
I go on basically every day to check for news and to be entertained. I'll get my news and junk there for the most part, but everyone on the larger subreddits are really mean to new content unless there are cats/boobs in it. Smaller subreddits are generally more appreciative of content and discussion.
I don't reddit.
I do however go on Tickld and imgur.
reddit is gigantic and that scares me.
<PaperStar> live fast, die young, bad plefs do it well
So I think the unanimous answer is no to Reddit and maybe to adopting their features!
