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.

Get the redditmug. The black hole of the internet. The place where ultra "introverted" slash social rejects coalesce to make stupid offhand comments and in general, waste their life. The members of this site live in their parents basement, and are nursing a weed addiction because they never got picked in gym class. They do nothing productive, and yet, possess a shocking amount of entitlement. They believe the world is a liberal arts college campus and they can live in a "safe space".
These people are too busy figuring out made up mental illnesses such as what gender they "identify" as to ever make a meaningful impact on society.

Get the Reddit video playermug. It doesn't matter how bizarre your situation is; someone on Reddit has already been there and done that.

Get the Redditmug. On reddit, a guy talked about how he and his wife had a neighbor who tried to discretely kill them because they "assaulted her"

Get the Redditmug. A place where you can be you. It is not only for boomers like Facebook, you don't have to have an opinion they don't like like Twitter, they aren't mentally unstable like instagram. It is a place to have discourse with like minded rational people. Some people dislike reddit because they don't worship the spaghetti monster and believes in basic COVID restrictions (vaccine mandate, mask mandate etc.) urging people to follow the science. We make fun of Christians, Science deniers, Trumpers, and Twitter users. Not to mention our memes, they are wholesome and dark (we like to include 69 and 420).
User 1: I just got 10,000 karma on my post on r/atheism and 1,000 karma on r/politics! All the science deniers and spaghetti worshippers got downvoted, thankfully. I love Reddit.
User 2: Aw that's so cool man.
User 1: Wholesome 100
