View submission: Reddit has the most unprecedentedly dense concentration of pedantry that has ever existed in the history of humanity.

View parent comment

the “pedantry “ generally takes the form of excessively polite or conflict-avoidant language.

No, not like that at all. Pretty much the exact opposite in fact.

Reddit is made up of thousands of communities, each with their own culture and norms. So it may be like that some places. But in general, people aren’t avoiding conflict when they correct you. They’re often rude or antagonistic about it.

Yeah one of my favorite subs will get mad at you if you end an argument politely but not politely enough. But one of my other favorites gets mad if you don’t insult the person your talking to even if you agree.
