guys, guys, guys I think sydney wins this. This is the eyes sore of sydney's skyline - can be seen from practically everywhere, not pleasant to be around and it looks even worse in person.

I still love all art (especially music subreddits) much less hivemind bs

I agree in that 4chan/8chan are in a different league of hatred than reddit and the description isn't completely apt, but I choose to interpret as the mainstream internet - with reddit's growing popularity I (as a biased user) would place it in the same league as Youtube, Facebook or Twitter. I think the truly most hateful place on the Internet would have to be 4/8chan and other deeply disturbing websites on the sensationally dubbed 'dark net'.

You're right, the academic subs do have the worth and they're refreshing to visit. When I say I'm not going to use reddit anymore, I'm talking about checking /all before any other social network. I'll definitely browse my city, uni or any other particularly useful subreddit - but I don't think it will become anything more than a reference tool and I won't browse it anymore than say my local newspaper (I'm not as informed about the outside world as I'd like to think).
