Reddit has it right that a new account should have some baseline. Their discovery tools however are not intuitive, if you can even call them tools.
- unethical_ban 11y agoThe designation of a sub as a default on reddit dooms it to be trashy and political, and reddit admins would never come out and say "avoid these awful communities, go find your local reddits!". So it goes.
