I didn't want to put the reddit links in the text, but I didn't really know how to phrase exactly what I'm looking for. I like the idea of this site existing as a separate entity with separate content than reddit. The entire mentality here is different. I notice myself glancing at a post to see how many upvotes it had, then I stopped and wondered why I would even care. Why would that affect my perception of it? You don't realize how much group think affects your browsing experience on reddit until you come to a place like this without upvotes or ranking. You can decide if you like content based on your own opinions and feelings towards it.
I know, right? It's like - it takes some getting used to, but it's so FREEING to feel free to read a post because it doesn't matter how many people agree. It's so freshening.
