Principia Discordia

So far I've linked one of Roger's MSY pieces and Remington's wire art thread. Feel free to post the parts of the forum you think deserve more attention. If you're not a reddit user yet, you can sign up very easily and don't even need to use a valid e-mail if you don't want do.

Awesome. Imma submit LMNO's ESM pieces once they're finished and consolied into one, as well as some OKM stuff.

This is a polite request for you not to do so with the ESM stuff.

Okay.

Hey I just recently made a Reddit account. (my username: tripzilch)

To anyone: You just need an account name and a password, not even email. Just click the "register" link, top right on http://www.reddit.com/r/PrincipiaDiscordia/ Super quick.

Um anyway, reddit spags? Now that I have an account what can I do with it? It seems like you can do a lot of powerful things with Reddit, some examples?

Also, this Discordian subreddit, I submit links to, yeah? Do I submit links that are not entirely Discordia related, yet I would post here because "the PD spags might enjoy it" as well, or just Discordianesque links?

Post links, up/downvote links, post comments, up/downvote comments. Kind of like the SOMA but with more layers. Users have a composite karma level based on link and post karma massaged with magic.

If they don't like it, they will downvote it.

You can submit content to the PD subreddit, to the main reddit or other subreddits, post comments and vote on other comments and submissions. You can also make your own subreddits and become a mod in other subreddits.

If anyone is interested in helping to moderate the subreddit or becoming a regular submitter, let me know. Moderation will pretty much follow the same standards we follow here: Generally a hands-off approach, if it's not safe for work it needs a NSFW tag. That's about it really. Moderators are expected to have a working knowledge of Reddit and should be able to show that they would be a fair and impartial moderator.

As far as content goes, it's up to the people who submit to the PD subreddit to decide what to submit and whether or not they like the current submissions. That's the great thing about Reddit: It's pretty much up to anybody.

Ok cool.

Earlier today I was browsing reddit, and wondered whether there is an easy way to copy a link/topic from another reddit (or the main reddit) to the PrincipiaDiscordia reddit. I couldn't find any "repost this in reddit XYZ" button. Is there a way besides manual copy/paste?

You can post the permalink for one reddit topic in another subreddit. I think that's what's usually done. It's not exactly the same as what you seem to be looking for, but it references the original comments.

Not really, permalinking is for comments. You basically just post the URL reddit links to in whatever subreddit you want. You can also use the URL of the reddit submission if you want too.

I've been browsing the Python and Programming reddits.

I still really get the feeling I'm missing something. The links are not *that* good. Also the fact that you don't get to write a short blurb or description when posting a link. Because really just the title is not going to do it for me. And then when I follow the link I have to click back to read if there are any comments, or use that frame-toolbar, which is just a bit weird. More useful than not having one, but also not super great.

Is it the firefox extensions that make reddit really worth it? Cause I dont use Firefox (often).

I don't much like the programming reddit because I don't think the people who frequent it are really programmers. At least, that's how I rationalize the karma allocation there.

Yeah the Python subreddit has slightly more interesting links, also the guys from pocoo.org post there and they make cool innovations in WCGI webdev stuff (like Jinja2, Paste or Flask).

Hm I just found that there are like zillions of subreddits related to programming, such as coding, code, onlycode, geneticalgorithms, machinelearning etc.

How do I keep track of all that? Some way to combine them into one feed?

Someone explain me here, what am I missing? Reddit apparently is one of the biggest social link aggegrator feeds around, but seriously, why?

How do you guys use reddit?

I mean I can imagine just browsing the WTF subreddit and the like to get links to funny/weird shit, which, I suppose is VladPoop's way of using it. But Reddit is supposed to be more than that no?

For example, now we have this PrincipiaDiscordia subreddit. If I post a link to it, how are people going to find it? I mean, I check it from time to time, but how do random reddit users see that link?

You can add (and remove) subreddits to your front page. If you add the RSS to your browser's toolbar and stay logged in, the RSS will reflect the popular stories in your frontpage.

I use Reddit for a lot more than just finding funny and/or weird shit (although that's a fine use for it). Reddit is full of useful/less information (http://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/), interesting stories (http://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/) and tons of niche stuff. Everything from automotive advice (http://www.reddit.com/r/Autos) to tech news to stories from people who have had interesting experiences or jobs (http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/).

You can get other people to add PrincipiaDiscordia to their frontpage, crosspost from PD or if a story gets enough upvotes I believe it ends up on the reddit main page.

While we're at it, I recommend the shittyadvice subreddit. http://reddit.com/r/shittyadvice
