>>19624068>>19624072Redditors have a skewed concept of anonymity.
They attach themselves to their screennames, make it part of their identity, and because Reddit keeps a log of everyone's comments and posts, all accessible with one click on their profile link, Redditors develop a very sociopathic habit of keeping their profile well-groomed and only displaying highly upvoted, content.
This is how The Cathedral of Accepted Thoughts is formed on Reddit, and we have to acknowledge our own site here, we similarly will all gravitate towards only posting things that are based, the key difference being that we care solely about the factual logical truth, not social status and the perceived power it comes with.
