Reddit gets a lot of stick, but it's a bastion of civility and intelligence compared to the comments on youtube videos or even mainstream newspaper comments. I don't think there is any forum of comparable size that has a higher quality discussion. Reddit's problems are just humans' problems.
- celticninja 10y agoPrimarily because they way it works, there are lots of high quality comments in smaller subreddits. It would probably be beneficial to filter out some of the default subreddits from the data sets to improve the quality of the data.
- bduerst 10y agoI would say Twitter is probably more civil, but the character limit leads to too many abbreviations.
- ppod 10y agoI should have included 'anonymous' in my criteria, the big difference between reddit and twitter is the % of accounts linked to real names.
