Papist Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Just went there. Strange. Looks like a hodgepodge of nothingness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihil Obstat Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 R/Catholicism is surprisingly decent, most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chestertonian Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 It's essentially a gigantic electronic bulletin board where registered users submit links, pictures, or really any kind of media. The submitted content is then voted up or down by other registered users, and the most liked stuff gets put on the front page. There's a "mini bulletin board" for just about anything you can think of. Most of the stuff on there is vile, postmodern garbage, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papist Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Perhaps, but I find it hard to navigate through the clutter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The advantage of having an account, besides the ability to vote and comment, is that you can customize which subreddits come into your front page feed. So if you do not appreciate the garbage at r/atheism and r/politics, you hit the unsubscribe button and never see them again. If you want Catholic stuff, you go to r/Catholicism and hit subscribe. My own front page feed is a lovely mix of Catholicism, anarcho-capitalism, anime, karate, ponies, and knives. :| Like most large online communities, there is method to the madness. You start to see it after a week or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basilisa Marie Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 You don't even need an email to make an account. People make "throwaway" accounts all the time. You just need a unique username and password. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
