@chambers, yep /r/bostonceltics is pretty pretty good. The debate quality here is better IMO  (bcs we know each other better - Reddit is somehow impersonal) but on the other hand the reddit page gets updated extremely fast with news.

Reddit's format is also extraordinarily bad for any kind of reasonable discussion.

Agreed.

Yes, but on the contrary, you can downvote certain messages and they get buried below in the comments, letting the better comments on top. I find this idea very clever, I can feel the essence of each post by just reading the first few comments. No wasting time on reading useless comments or bad behavior people.

the process of upvoting and downvoting is exactly the problem.
At least a goldfish with a Lincoln Log on its back goin' across your floor to your sock drawer has a miraculous connotation to it.

I'm not a huge fan of the upvoting/downvoting because although I've never gotten down voted I don't get upvoted a ton and my stuff often gets pushed way down.

Celticsblog is good for discussion. However, I think people are more optimistic on reddit and since that is inline with my way of thinking I prefer that. It also gets stories/links up much sooner than Celticsblog. That being said if I want to kill some time and have a lengthy debate I won't find it on reddit.

They are both good for different reasons.

Yeah R/NBA is a really good aggregator for interesting information. I don't read the comments, typically.

Trust me, comment often enough and the dreaded day you get lots of downvotes shall come.
I did it with //Biyombo > Koufos by a large margin// (I honestly hate his guts)  ::)

Getting lots of upvotes is even easier, especially if you comment in subs where ppl share the same beliefs (aka circlejerk subs); ie if you a conservative join a conservative sub and write conservative stuff, you ll soon enough get upvoted.

The thing that does get on my nerves a lot I must say is how people use anonymity over there. Reddit is the par excellence place to say/do nasty things hidden behind a computer screen (they have this crazy obsession with 'free speech', which means you can say basically anything). This makes for a rather toxic atmosphere.

I stick to sub reddits on the Celtics, DKC league, and video games. You will never see me reading a sub where there is a chance anyone will say anything offensive.

Well, I barely write anything there. If I want to say something I say it here because we can have better argumentation, and there is more fun here as well.
Reddit is very good to get info very fast at r/nba and occasionally read articles from good contributors. Dangercart (who is a columnist somewhere on CB if I'm not mistaken; Jeff talked about him a couple of weeks ago) is my favorite.
I agree it's more optimistic overall at r/bostonceltics and generally pessimism is downvoted immediately. That's funny.
r/nba was very good during free agency, each tweet and signing were commented immediately and you could feel the opinion of the deal from the team who lost the player to the team who got him. Very interesting for me, as I don't know all the players in nba. Learn big time during 2 weeks.

You have to refer to it as an echo chamber or you can get in trouble

/r/NBA is extremely fast. It's a question of minutes if not seconds for the latest piece of news to appear there.
Another good thing is visiting other teams' subs and discussing with their fans. This way you can get a more balanced view of things; eg discussing with Toronto fans on Amir.

Why would I want to talk to people who are so brain damaged they root for teams other than the Celtics?  ;D

It's really spooky indeed  ;D.
But nothing compares to talking with Cavs and Clips fans. IMO they are the most clueless bball fans in the States. 
LAL fans on the other hand are well informed and on average good debaters.

Just write something mildly critical of demigod GOAT Kobe in /r/all and see what follows  ;D
