The whole of Reddit is PC. SRS is violently PC.

Bullies. Bullies for a good cause are still bullies.

Just the word "bullies" doesn't explain why they have been untouched, but yeah. They are bullies.

From what I've read, one of the Reddit admins is an SRSer, which is why they are untouchable despite their duplicitous behavior.

The same with Reddit.

Good thing you're not on 4chan -- using the 'R' word there is a death wish.

So funny that this exists, they're almost self aware, but it's hard to tell http://reddit.com/r/4chan

I like how we Hacker News users are brave enough to admit under very public profiles that we have, in fact, been to 4chan. EDIT: This post was not sarcastic or ironic. Though I do think /pol/ is a hive of neo-Nazi scum /flameproof-suit.

I visit sometimes, mainly on /g/.

For a computer enthusiast, a lot of /g/ is terrible. Going there with no knowledge as to why people would tell you to "install gentoo" or that "nvidia causes housefires" or that "ATI/AMD has no drivers" will confuse you very quickly. Everything on 4chan should be taken with a grain of salt, much like everything really.

However, once you are cluey enough to disregard the silly-ness of some people, you'll find some good resources. I found the logical increments PC Buying guide there a while ago and now that is the first point of call for when I'm helping a friend build a PC. Obviously I use it only as a guide and do more research myself, but its good to see such a high quality guide someone has created to help build a custom PC for an enthusiast. The Falcon, if you are also a hacker news reader, thanks for making such an awesome guide.

The anonymity of 4chan is both a blessing and a curse, Everyone is on the same level, with the same credibility until they open their mouth. If you want to put your words to a name you can (with a tripcode) but be prepared for the backlash of not being anonymous. All you have to go by is what a message says.

There is a subreddit devoted to beating women. What is your definition of PC?

Complete bullshit. Reddit's /r/news, /r/politics, and /r/worldnews (which are default subreddits focused on politics) are regularly raided by Stormfront . Just this week the Reddit administrators finally got it into their heads to ban /r/niggers, which had functioned as "Stormfront on Reddit". This won't accomplish much, since subreddits like /r/WhiteRights or /r/newright remain alive and serve much the same purpose.…

The fact that you are so hostile to these politically incorrect subreddits and blanketly label them all as "Stormfront" makes it clear that you are not in a position of rationality. None of those groups ever "raided" anyone, unless you define it as linking from one subreddit to another. None of them ever encouraged downvoting, or even participation (although you can't expect them to not participate at all). Some -- o…

They have banned other politically incorrect subreddits before (jailbait).

You understand that /r/jailbait wasn't banned for being 'politically incorrect', right?

Some days ago I saw an ad for DuckDuckGo on 4chan and found it pretty funny. A squirrel was searching for "traps", "clop clop", etc. and the duck anonymized the search. If the add was really made by the DDG guys they earned some respect from me for having a sense of humor.

Here they are:

I strongly doubt the average internet user knows what 4chan is.

"internet user" in what capacity (checks their emails every week, or participates on online forums?) and in what age bracket? Once you exclude most of the internet users who are only nominally "using the internet", I suspect most are at least vaguely aware of 4chan.

I meant in the most broad sense, which at this point is someone who uses email/Facebook/etc. daily.

* Once you exclude most of the internet users who are only nominally "using the internet", I suspect most are at least vaguely aware of 4chan.*

I agree! But I think the proportion of people you'd be excluding there is the overwhelming majority.

Wow, Moot reads Hacker News. Not surprising, but pleases me greatly. Thank you for your contributions to the great shared halucination that is the internet.

Or maybe someone just tipped him off. Trivia: I just opened his HN profile to see when was his account created, and by some strange coincidence we have exactly the same karma (443). Either that or it's bug in HN :)
