That's what we've been doing, we've been posting the content that we find quality and have been x-posting it to seddit, which is why I find it disappointing that our very first x-post here was met with such negativity from the seddit moderation staff, I feel out of anything that's what would fracture this community. We're just a group of people that wanted to take our understanding of pick-up and conversational mechanics to the next level, I'm not sure who would be complaining about that, especially considering we've only posted one x-post. I have no interest in splitting the community, I'm more interested in making sure the people who find our content useful and insightful can find it and can have a place with likeminded individuals to discuss it. I do hope Seddit can take some cues from our content and the way we moderate our subred and irc channel (our mods actually visit the irc, no offense.) I don't think much else needs to be said beyond that.

Not to gang up on you Throwaway, but calling /r/pickup a circlejerk is just a little belittling, IMO.

Seddit has become filled with armchair PUAs, and it's all good if they're actually going out and trying to utilize these techniques, but a good chunk of them aren't. They read a lot of theory but never get over their AA, or just don't utilize what they're learning, for whatever reason.

Saying that /r/pickup it's a circlejerk doesn't give any credit to the things submitted there, like recommended reading, running exercises with other members, or the three ways people communicate and build the world around them in their minds.

I don't want seddit to splinter and I don't plan on leaving it because I still think it's a valuable source of information, but there's just too many guys who don't go out and try this stuff to really take everyone's opinion seriously. If I didn't have RES, I would be much less inclined to stay here. There's not much you can do about it, and it's expected to happen as this place gets bigger and bigger.

In all honesty, I'm a pretty skeptical guy as it is, and even more so lately of the pickup community. It's hard to tell who's advice is good and who's is bad, just because there's a lot of both floating around. I trust the dudes over at /r/pickup. As far as sharing the information and techniques we use or create over there with the rest of seddit, there shouldn't be any kind of issue.

Did you read my entire argument? Seddit is full of people who don't practice what they're preaching, but that's not to say that there aren't still people with valuable information that visit this board. I said, I'm not going to leave one or the other because they're both worth my time. It's not my responsibility to moderate this subreddit, nor is it your's. If the mods want and can figure out a way to separate the people out in the field and the armchair PUA's, then I'd be willing to spend more time here. Inversely, when I go to /r/pickup, I know that anyone that answers me is going to have a legitimate, helpful response. There aren't going to be guys regurgitating something they heard Owen or Mystery say, without ever practicing it for themselves.

Not just that, but I've been seeing a plague of shitty, meme responses to FR's and other submissions. These comments are getting upvoted to the top but they don't contribute anything. Again, if the mods can and want to fix this, then obviously I'm behind whatever they come up with.

It's far from an illogical argument. Go look at what happened to /r/gaming. People went to /r/games because the discussions and submissions had been so distilled with crap that salvaging the place was beyond hope. Now, there's two distinctly different purposes for them. One supports legitimate discussions and does not allow memes, the other is for anything gaming.

Obviously, seddit isn't anywhere near as big as those two individual subreddits, but the problem still exists. If it can be resolved, then I encourage the moderators to do it. But again, until then, I'll be spending more of my time in /r/pickup.
