What are some good non-political spaces on the internet?
Every sub on Reddit seems so runover with politics, technology/programming/linux subs are so overriden with whatever new idiot bill the american government is trying to pass. Are there any decent niche subs on the rise right now? Most of the ones that make it on /r/all are all kinda trash and feel like theres some agenda behind the posts
You can filter out tags on Tildes.
/r/ProgrammingLanguages is quite awesome. Or /r/WatchPeopleCode
tbh, on Reddit you need to use RES and filter out everything you don't want to see. It becomes a lot better after that. I tend to filter out every single reposter that I encounter for example.
Some really nice niche subs that I like would be the imaginary network: /r/ImaginaryBestOf
There's a list of all their subs: /r/ImaginaryNetwork/wiki/networksublist snip (Was this link supposed to work on Tildes?).
The regex only checks for the subreddit name.
I'm a fan of r/simulated for creative short bits of eye candy.
Seconding the r/imaginarynetwork recommendation.
The subs I follow are r/imaginarymaps, r/imaginarypropaganda and r/worldbuilding (last one is explicitly non-political, while first two are about imaginary politics, sometimes including future events, which have to reference present politics.) Imaginarylandscapes (multireddit with 14 subs in it)
I would also recommend kinda esoterical subs like r/loadingicon and r/loadingicons.
Also check out subreply.com..... Great community.
