Boards is better than Reddit

Slight exaggeration but an example would be...they are buying a house, and asking about social housing 5km from there house and they are wondering could they be murdered.

I get the impression that a lot of people posting that stuff on Reddit are younger, middle class people who have picked up stereotypes of working class areas/people from their parents. You can see it any time they start going on about working class areas of Dublin (or former working class areas, because they are usually unfamiliar with the areas they are talking about) as if they're active warzones. They tend to rehash stereotypes of these places that might have rung true in the 70s or 80s hence me thinking they're just regurgitating what their parents/family say about them.

I find it to be awful. The same articles from the Irish times or the indo seem to get posted over and over by bot accounts looking to karma farm. It's all about how shite Ireland is and it's clear many of the regulars, including moderators, have never set foot in Ireland.

I was beginning to wonder if maybe the paranoia wasn't as bad as it seemed, so I had another look at Reddit. I came across a gem of paranoia to do with South County Dublin.

rarely use either???

you have 0000s of posts on here

Did they go to the effort of setting up a replacement home again? After GUBU died.

GUBU was a few serially banned posters whining about here and no other content. Unfortunately not all the serially banned posters went there.

**** him. Advertising is chargeable just like here

Reddit is a strange place. I posted a simple question to do with an Irish tea brand and just wanted to know what people thought of it on an Irish subreddit - it was called 'McEntee's, if anyone wants to know - and got downvoted. It probably was because it wasn't Barry's or Lyons(!) 😜.
I read this interesting article a few months back as to why Reddit has, what I'd like to call, a 'marmite effect' (some people like it, some don't). It is paywalled btw:
How the biggest social media apps use envy and shame to keep you hooked

love boards - loads of users

It sounds like you're pushing a biased narrative in favour of the protesters here. Your echo chamber claim is based on the fact that people are overwhelmingly critical of the protestors, a claim for which you've no evidence.

The main Ireland subreddit can be a mopey place at times but it's much better than it's UK counterpart which is a properly nasty, miserable place. I quite like the Ireland sub as it has a bit of fun in it and it's a lot less of an echo chamber than some threads here.

Neither of them are much good these days.

Does any person under 30 even know what Boards is?
