Analytic Idealism Subreddit (/r/analyticidealism)

[pandaproducts]

I made a subreddit for discussing idealism in a modern, analytic context. Our emphasis is on how idealism is superior in terms of post-Enlightenment logical values in comparison to physicalism. In essence, we're attempting to help seize the rational high ground from materialist academia.

Please check it out, and maybe contribute!

Although I posted summaries of my essays there (with links back to this forum for full essay), I am kind of confused as to why the subreddit was necessary apart from this forum? In my experience, people generally don't like to participate in two different online forums, let alone two forums about the same metaphysical topic. Just saying.

I made it for people who prefer to use Reddit. I prefer to use Reddit myself, to be honest. Furthermore, I think if it gets reasonably sized we could attract new people to analytic idealism since Reddit is one of the biggest sites on the planet.

Yeah, I get what you are saying. I don't prefer to use Reddit, but that's only because I write essays and there are a lot more features for customizing those on this forum. If not for that, then I may stop posting here and only post there. I don't know... it seems like it could be a real issue down the road, but since no mods have weighed in, I guess it's not that big of a deal.

For the record, PP asked for approval to post a link to his reddit forum, which I ok'd, since I feel the more exposure to BK's ideas, and counter-materialism metaphysics in general, the better, and some may well prefer the reddit format. Indeed, there could be far more activity there (in which case, good luck to the mods) resulting in less here. But of the 200 plus members here, the relatively low percentage of regular posters doesn't ever seem to vary much, and so I doubt it will make any dramatic difference in the level of participation here, which has always been more focused on the quality of the commentary, rather than the quantity.
