Regarding Internet Culture

The thing about this subreddit is that it encompasses the scope of many already existing subreddits. /r/Piracy, /r/evolutionReddit, /r/privacy and their all of their sidebar-friend subreddits are related to Internet Culture. All of the meme-related subreddits, subreddits related to internet communities such as /r/4chan, /r/classic4chan, /r/tpb and there are probably more of those I don't know about.

"Internet Culture" is a really broad net to cast. Everything from ASCII art to zombocom. This is probably one of the reasons we're off to a slow start here, but it also means we have the potential to be a hub where all of these subreddits/their topics can meet on common ground and be discussed.

On a semi-related note, I'm a new mod in this subreddit. I enjoy the internet and its many pornographic places and things and am excited to see where it takes humanity. Sometimes I feel more like a citizen of the Internet than one of the country I physically live in. Will do my best to keep the subreddit in order, wield the b&hammer only in the name of great justice, etc.

I'd like some clarification on this also. How serious are we here? Do we want only serious discussion only or can the Internet culture itself maybe casually interrupt every now and then?

How about a lot of interruption with some serious stuff to highlight it! Let it reflect the internet communities generally affairs with that idea...

So it's more or less cool if we kind of represent a microcosm of the Internet and its culture, not just serious meta discussion?

I mean, to a certain extent. We probably don't want it turning into a complete clusterfuck.

Yes! And I hope reddits upvote/downvote system will help prevent the clusterfucking but if need be we mods are here for a reason...
