Why don't we use reddit.com/r/frc

By the way, congratulations on being made a moderator there, it seems odd to get involved in a format that you think isn't a great community platform.

I think r/FRC could fulfill a necessary and interesting role that CD doesn't. There is a RoboRIO Beta Test Team doing an AMA right now, and it has been very informative to read, they've answered questions that probably would have been ignored or answered with links.

The reddit community can be more abrasive, but I choose to believe it is more lighthearted as well. To me CD often feels like dinner with my parents, everyone is uptight and smiling until it devolves into accusations and reputation comparisons.

As you mentioned, /r/FRC has the potential to reach a niche of users who don't necessarily feel comfortable posting on ChiefDelphi. That's why I offered to become a mod - to help /r/FRC grow as a forum and to help ensure that it upholds the standards and values that FIRST, and our community, are proud to stand for.

Anonymous, passive-aggressive swipes at individuals are not one of the things we should be proud to stand for.
