/r/ is, I think, the defining quality of reddit - it's a very elegant solution to the (x) is turning into (y) problem. /r/truereddit is already a pretty strong contingent of people pining for 06 reddit. But when all the cool redditors start hanging out on /r/truereddit, it will be choked with complaints that it's becoming like vanilla reddit. And thus, http://www.reddit.com/r/truetruereddit


No, then they'll all just move to http://newslily.com ;-)


Really, guys? -4 for mentioning one of my projects in a joke?


And -4 more for complaining. What do you think this is, Reddit?


No, I don't think this is reddit, which I why I asked the question.


I think my favorite reddit is

http://www.reddit.com/r/iama

Lots of tabloidy Jerry Springer show sex stuff but also lots of fascinating people too.

I think http://www.reddit.com/r/circlejerk is also great. It's a reddit dedicated to making fun of the rest of reddit. What other site has a section devoted to making fun of itself?


For me, the issue of anonymous vs non-anonymous IAmAs is interesting because it shows some of the flaws of "legacy" PR based on controlling the message. Ideally every organization should move to PR 2.0 and away from controlling the message which would resolves many of the issues, but of course that will take a long time.


A reddit relevant to the issue of procrastination

http://www.reddit.com/r/GetMotivated/

may be of interest to some people here.

It is a little garish in the reddit sense but, just like with pornography, aesthetic qualities aren't that relevant as long as it serves its purpose.
