OK, I admit, I'm a Reddit lurker. I don't post or reply much, because by the time I read a thread a hundred posts were already made that are more clever or insightful than anything that I could post. So I just lurk.
I used to be on the now nearly-dead Digg before the now infamous "Digg v4". And before that, I think I hung out (lurked) for a little while on Penny Arcade's forums way back then before the multiple redesigns/resets, specifically the "Social Entropy" forum.
It's always entertaining to read the drama, the fights, the laughs or just the sheer insanity. Sometimes (but some often) I learn something in the process, though generally I assume that everybody there is not at all trustworthy without valid references to other sites. At times the idiocy and horror is so overwhelming that I shield myself by assuming they're just trolling, though I should be more willing to accept that people out there can often be horrible.
So, post away, masses of redditors. Let go of that torrent of posts and inane replies for all those creeps lurking around Reddit in secret...
