“dear reddit, f*** you. I submit totally reasonable things and I LOSE KARMA?! Dumbass reddit doesn't like art or women (at least with high probability), it turns out. ”

I think everything on reddit automatically gets downvotes because you are competing with spammers. I wonder if submissions from regular people (those who don't know how to game reddit) ever make it to the front page anymore? - Paul Buchheit
I assumed everybody had learned to only use the sub-reddits? Those have a small enough audience that the spammers aren't bothering with them - Adewale Oshineye
I'm sure with the "Like" button on FriendFeed posts, there's some way of sorting friendfeed posts for display by date and votes, in a redditish fashion. - Slippy Lane
actually, they liked the kids floating in trash enough. it was the vase where i got downvoted. - Lilly Irani
Yeah, I don't know how to game reddit. I had no idea the subreddits where the place to be. Now I think I might be addicted. Maybe I'll start a design one. - Lilly Irani
I dropped something there that made the frontpage in January (a review of color pencils) but I'm no expert there, and didn't even know I have karma points :) Yesterday I submitted the Lufthansa jet near crash, and it received a waloping 53 points (didn't make the homepage though I guess). Most other stuff I remember having submitted there flopped though. Then again the same seems to be true [...] - Philipp Lenssen
[continued, comment length restriction] for Digg, Slashdot, CollegeHumor submissions. - Philipp Lenssen
yeah, I think the key is to submit something enough people will like but that angry people won't be offended by. things that are vaguely feminist tend to get downvoted, unless it is deep down in the comments of of something anti-feminist. maybe i'm just assuming because I see lots of anti-feminist stuff make the homepage. - Lilly Irani
We once tried to get something anti-Digg into Digg. We almost made the homepage but then it was down-voted. http://www.diggsoundboard.com - Philipp Lenssen
