What are we supposed to call ourselves here?

This is what I need to know for my Monday night.

"SDNer" has a much better ring than "Redditor"

Well of course. SDN is so much better than Reddit.

Lol I will say I prefer the vibe and overall personality of SDN over reddit

 

[jamaica jan sun princess]

None of the above. This website doesn't define my personality.

 

[EdgeTrimmer]

Well of course. SDN is so much better than Reddit.

May be we should ask what Redditians think about it I found it interesting that Reddit has threads discussing SDN posts and they keep mentioning my id in various discussions.

"recurrent EdgeTrimmer vs KnightDoc discussion" had a good laugh . The wife thinks I've finally gone crazy.

In recent thread some one wondered if I have a beef with an adcom. I have no beef with anyone, but when I disagree I say it (respectfully) . I appreciate all adcoms volunteering their time here.

 

[EpilepticRat]

Yeah, I'm an SDNer

Sardonic
Delusional
Naive

Reddit is a cesspool

 

[DNAJB6]

clueless premeds

 

[EdgeTrimmer]

Reddit is a cesspool

I see more likes for posts in Reddit and FB group than here, may be “like” culture is not here 😀

 

[Matthew9Thirtyfive]

Reddit is a cesspool

So is Twitter.

 

[LittleBrother]

So is Twitter.

Yeah. I've deleted all of social media now. It's too toxic, dangerous, and full of idiots.

 

[bngli]

SDNier, or the SDNied

 

[Matthew9Thirtyfive]

They both have their purposes. On SDN you'll find brutally honest feedback (which is scarce and absolutely necessary in today's world), and actual discussions on controversial topics. On reddit, you'll find people who can empathize with you and can answer more nuanced questions about the application cycle through a more relaxed peer-to-peer presentation.

On the other hand, SDN has plenty of high-achievers (like @EdgeTrimmer 's son ), and the school threads, at some point, just become a pointless anxiety fest -- literally, some people are anxious just to be anxious in some of them so I stopped going on them much after completion. Reddit's flaws are due to the voting system such that dissenting opinions are downvoted into oblivion which quickly results in a hive mind mentality.

If I had to pick one of them for a newer premed, I'd probably pick SDN for the invaluable adcom perspectives -- although either one should be sufficient to get your application in shape.

The hive mind mentality hurts Reddit IMO. Anything that goes against the hive is just downvoted to oblivion.

Not to mention all the other creepy stalking/doxxing/banning that goes with an unpopular opinion.

I never visit Reddit unless my kid or someone else tells me that my arguments with a premed or an adcom were being debated my kid never participated in that thread but checks periodically. Looks like you have same ID there 😀 I come here to learn the process from adcoms and attendings and share my n > 1 anecdotes.

Wish I would have started with SDN sooner. I could have used some advice on school lists

In fact, my presence is specifically requested at all fun parties.

 

[jamaica jan sun princess]

as the damper to keep it under control?

Someone has to make sure these young premeds don't take a sip of beer or toke of the devil's lettuce.

Ooooh... SDN gossip. I can't believe I missed it for so long.

We need more options! (Jk, SDNer for the win)

What happened to KnightDoc? They’ve been MIA recently. It is downright fascinating to watch someone who hasn’t applied yet offer advice to people who are. SDN highlight

Everyone adheres to the same rules, and after consistent warnings due to violating our TOS KnightDoc was placed on a post-hold. This happens with some users from time to time but KnightDoc will return to the forums shortly.

What are we, some kind of Suicide Squad?
