Pretty much this.
FYAD is...
...what's the best way to put it...
FYAD is basically SAs cultural exchange room with /b/, and is mostly filled with /b/ types too lazy to move over to 4Chan after the moot-exodus.
Poe's law runs rampant in FYAD. Most goons just forget about it, since 95% of the people who post in FYAD don't post anywhere else on SA (except maybe YOSPOS), and vice versa.

Because of the massive amounts of hate speech we have on here?
Please Q your statement

There are an awful lot of acronyms coming up in this thread that I am a little wary of Googling at work.
Anyone care to tell me what a goon, FYAD or SA are?

SA = SomethingAwful, a popular web forum
goon = colloquial term for a SomethingAwful forum member
FYAD = F--- You and Die, a subforum on SomethingAwful

This one point pretty much explains all people need to know about this "discussion" you've started. It's like FL trying to 'discuss' something that happened with the PC party.
When are we passing out the SA t-shirts?

You're reading way too much into this. There is no secret "internet warz". Is it so shocking that I find things truly abhorrent?
It's not cool to like SA anymore anyway. We miss you Dr. David Thorpe.

If you really want to defend Reddit's right to allow that content, stifle opinion, and basically abuse their internet clout, have at 'er.

B) I agree that you dont want to disband the internet but how can you support companies that support reddit which supports CP. Why is one degree of separation immoral but a second degree of separation okay.
C) seems like you just hate reddit because it is the cool thing to do at SA.

Which companies do I support that support Reddit?
The echo-chamber is getting tiring. How about addressing things like violentacrez, the Reddit admins condoning of his actions, or just my OP in general, rather than addressing my rationale or motivation?
You guys all seem to be skirting the issue, and it smacks of avoidance.

Funny thing is, due to this thread, I now use Reddit twice as much as I used to, since someone pointed out that i could change my front page so I didn't, get stupid stuff on it.
Of course, twice as much as an hour or two a month really doesn't add up to much.

I have also finally signed up for an account after some of the tips on here. I still don't use it that much, but the customization is nice.

I think I've been on reddit a couple of times, I think mostly due to people sending me links. Beyond that I glossed over it as a bunch of communities or whatever with confusing titles where you needed to be part of the in crowd to understand it.
The OP on its own is informative to me as I was ignorant of the background and issues of the site. If the intent was "I want to create awareness and give people something to think about" then I think mission accomplished.
The rest hasn't really been informative (I admit I read long page 1 and 4 but I got the trend) other than I now know I'm out of touch with a whole genre of internet acronyms and slang terms. Thankfully by only reading page 1 and 4 I was able to find out what goon meant.

Oh no wait I forgot cats, and driving memes into the ground.
Also, slut shaming.

I've been on reddit for 3+ years, and have never seen a pic of an underage girl. I guess it's where you are looking....

Thanks for missing the point once again, but keep thinking just because you haven't noticed it that it isn't happening/hadn't happened.
Also, to everyone who is beating the "Dur thanks for upping my Reddit use!" thing into the ground, grow the #### up.
You're adults FFS.

Yeah it's completely unexpected and shocking that I reply to people in the thread I started.

This isn't a reply, it is a minor meltdown.
