Sooo that might be what you ran into. I can't vouch for them, because I've never actually been on 4chan or Reddit, but their reputation isn't the best.. Â to say the least.
To be honest, Reddit shouldn't be too much of a problem. I've been using /r/ffxiv for months, and most of the community there is friendly and helpful, and when I first jumped on, I put up a topic asking about RP, and was greeted with quite a few replies from people telling me where to go, linking me to this site and a lot of people who will also be RPing.Â
It'll be 4chan thats a problem, if anything.
it's a message board that's honestly helpful and insightfull if you know where to look. Or it could be a mess of bad trolling and people trying to be edgy.
it's been around for a while, and the OGs there are not the problem.
After the "reddit and 4chan war", if you can call it that, tons of immature redditors went to 4chan (since they just learned that 4chan was the site reddit was getting their "memes" from). Turned the shithole into an even bigger shithole, and people think being mean in a non clever way is what trolling is all about.
it was a sad cycle to watch. Anywho, think of it this way. It's not the redditors or 4channers that are bad. It's the young stupid ones.
All we're seeing is people being "edgy" and hating on stuff they don't do. That's the least of our worries. What we need to do is build up our community. They don't have to go away for us to have a good time. We're a new server, with new people, starting new adventures. We can either sit around and cry about all the hate we're getting, or just do what we do, and include those that want to join. Fair and simple.
