I've seen here and on Reddit that there is an influx of Hillary trolls baiting Bernie supporters. Of

course I think they are GOP trolls baiting Bernie supporters, to create animosity between Hillary supporters and Bernie ones. I ask all Hillary people to not get goaded into baiting or insulting Bernie supporters. Call them out if their guy's policies are unrealistic or wrong, but I think we can all agree Bernie is one good egg and it is understandable that he has been a formidable opponent for Hillary. Extend a hand of friendship to Bernie's base. We are all in this together in the end (and that is what the GOP fear most).

http://www.dailydot.com/society/reddit-survey-demographics/

Reddit’s official blog post on the survey results only summarized a few trends -- about half of redditors are in a relationship, for instance, and their favored cheese is cheddar (where are you, limburger fans?).

But thankfully, the data’s already fallen under the intense scrutiny of Reddit’s user base.

Here are just a few interesting things they’ve discovered:

* Almost half of survey participants are between the ages of 18 and 24.

* A majority of the rest are between 25 and 34 (so about 80 percent of participants are between 18 and 35 years old).

* A vast majority of those surveyed are male (about 80 percent across all age groups).

* Though Reddit is inundated with pictures of cats, a majority of participants are dog people.

Keep in mind, all this data is self-reported, and the sample is self-selected, which means it’s hardly scientific. Maybe all those Reddit girls and people over the age of 35 just didn’t respond to the survey.

Or, more likely: Reddit’s users really are overwhelmingly young and male. Is it really that surprising?

and I came back to chaos. I'm hopeful that things will get better though, and actually put a few people on ignore that only seem to be here to cause trouble.
