I prefer Reddit to coming here. A lot of it has to do with the fact that the different political factions, along with every other topic, have their own place on Reddit. That means other things rarely bleed over into the Bitcoin sub. I know this forum has made strides to improve a lot of things but most of it has resulted in more negative consequences than positive.

Problems also seem to get handled a lot faster and with less grief than here.  Noobs on Reddit get their questions answered and pointed towards relevant information without being called idiots or shoved in a box. I spend a lot of time answering those questions in /r/Bitcoin and /r/mtRed. I've transacted with people and vendors /r/Bitmarket that are also active here. Over there, I just drop in, read the news, post some comments and I'm up to date. I had to jump through hoops today to get the privileges to make this post even though I've been here longer than most. This forum isn't very accessible and most of the content is irrelevant. I've shied away from it unless something big is happening or a new project starts here. Hell, I came here today looking for answers about why Gox's merchant service is down. I still haven't found anything relevant.
