There's some great subreddits out there. The mental health ones have helped me out so much, same with personal finance and stuff like that. P*** subreddits are nice too.
Those mainstream subreddits that everyone views are the trash you're probably indulging in. Just unfollow them and follow the ones you care about.
I think it's WAY better than Twitter, if you wanna talk about hive mind go view that app.
Yea but twitter doesn't have a voting system that causes good faith posts to fall on death ears
s*** its no worse than twitter where every woke ex-tumblr person gets 50K likes for saying stupid s***
really I only lurk reddit for a some updates on stuff, im not all in the comments n s***

Likes/retweets are a million times worse than a upvote/downvoted system.

anything with a like button suffers from this problem

Nah downvotes are used as a way to censor and devalue a point, the closet thing is twitter "ratioing" people but the downvote system allows people to make an opinion at a glance before forming their own.
It's like if twitter or ig had a dislike button

ratioing accomplishes the same thing imo
average moron sees the opinion he likes with thousands of likes and the dissenter getting ratio'd to hell, reinforces the echo chamber the same way that downvoting someone does
the only real difference is that reddit allows negative scores, but i've personally never not-opened a score-hidden post
You gotta realize the average reddit user is some 28 year old white dude form Wisconsin, with a switch, two kids and a wife
Thats when most of their takes and jokes make sense
nigga said a switch
if im searching something on google, then im going to write reddit after to get the best results
but otherwise it sucks
why is this facts?
If the sub has grown to >10000 subscribers, its soon time to leave it
Once the app and the new reddit layout came out, that was the beginning of the end for me
reddit doesn't really work now because it's become too popular imo
Small hobbyist subs are decent but i had to block the entire site recently for my sanity

tfw you are a 22 year old black dude from Wisconsin with a switch
Its pretty obvious that the site has been compromised by marketers too, soooo many Capitalised Brand Names in titles and pictures of products
This is very specific but If you're from a first world country with "progressive" policies , your country's subreddit will be full of Americans with little to no knowledge on the country whatsoever (Besides romanticised views) who want to immigrate. It's the most annoying s*** ever.

YUP, australias not even thattt progressive but im amazed how many americans come out of the woodwork sometimes like f*** off
Twitter is worse. An upvote/downvote system is toxic but at least reddit doesn't actively make it challenging to write or read something of substance. Twitter encourages s*** takes and spam by virtue of its character limit.
Positives is that Reddit is more intelligent than twitter. And it's very good for news updates on the things you like and to ask questions. Other than that it's crap and the posters can be very self conscious. Twitter on the other hand is filled with dumb and superficial takes. Ktt might just be the best social media platform actually

It's even more hilarious if it's Australia because they're oblivious to the toxicity of Australian Politics, Rupert Murdoch and how many Prime Ministers you've had in the past decade.
In r/NZ we just have to contend with delusional Americans who think we are a "liberal utopia" and a obsession with LOTR and Queenstown.
