Reddit is a discussion forum (NOT "
social media"; they are two different things, and discussion forums predated
social media by several decades) that COULD be a nice place to hold
interesting conversations about any number of topics, if it were run by people who had a clue about how to maintain order, but since it is not, it is a playground for adolescent bullies and bitter male virgins, who quash dissenting views with mass downvotes even though the rules say that this is not what the downvote is for (but nobody listens, and the moderators don't enforce this), the worst kind of racists, misogynists, homophobes,
transphobes, and just general sociopaths that you will ever come across, power-tripping subreddit mods who think they're God because they run a tiny little corner of
the Internet, and where the idiot that you're arguing with might literally be 14 (this is not even hyperbole; they actually let minors
use the site, even places like /r/sex that minors should DEFINITELY not be posting in).
There's a subreddit called /r/Negareddit that supposedly calls out all of the rest of Reddit's horrid tendencies, but in reality it's not even much better or different, people in that sub engage in all the same old bullshit too.
Even subs pertaining to topics that you like and are interested in, are probably not worth participating in, because of the people there.
Honestly, the only good thing on Reddit is the very prolific amount of user-submitted porn.
Go to Reddit if you want to be called an asshole in 67,735 different ways within an hour
no matter what you say, observe some of the worst specimens that humanity has to offer, and have your very character called into question by people who have never felt the
touch of a woman, but if you actually want to have a mature, logical
discussion about anything, you're going to have a bad time.
