I don't know if any of you have seen /r/linustechtips, but it is entirely dead. So, I made reddit.com/r/Linus_Tech_Tips yesterday and threw a little bit of CSS on it (no clue what I'm doing, it's a WIP). At the very least his videos will be posted there by a bot, and I will post some of his updates from twitter/instagram (for people who don't have twitter/instagram accounts), along with other various things (WAN Show reminders, important forum topics, etc.). Hope you guys like it!  :)

why would we need a subreddit?

pretty stupid with a forum. ^^

 

For a single place to have all of the updates. Unless a twitter feed is incorporated into the forum. I don't intent any real forum-like discussion to take place there - it's more of an integration thing.

I don't think reddit has any larger percentage of idiots/trolls than the rest of the internet; it's just a larger community, so you notice them more.

That holds some point, but there is higher concentration of people who are extremely judgmental. I mean, man, you know what I'm talking about.

We're better off keeping them out. 

 

Besides having a LTT leddit is kind of redundant.

I'm not going to pretend as if they aren't there: they most certainly are. However, it's not like creating a subreddit for a specific community will cause some mass influx of angry redditors to the forums.

I don't see it as redundant, I see it as efficient. Having a single place for LTT social media, videos, and important updates (all under one account) is appealing to me.

people are already treating this forum as if it is a blog twitter or reddit anyway.
