Political reddits are the worst. I am not aware of a single one that isn't a pure circle jerk. The libertarian one used to be this weird melting pot where you even had the odd Marxist or whatever engaging in actual intelligent discussion with Rothbardians and Randians and anarchists, but then it got taken over by pajama nazis.
Some of the smaller topical subreddits about science, space, and niche areas of tech and engineering are good. The further from politics the better it is.
- friendlybus 7y agoThe Jordan Peterson sub whilst not supposed to be political was good for thoughtful discussion about myth/philosophy/psychology ect for 2017-2018 and is now just political memes. They maintain an open policy at all times, not banning anyone or shutting down posters and as a result there is constant calls for more heavy moderating. The redditors themselves want the authoritarian hand waved over the subs, because a lot of the time good quality content does not aggregate on reddit. I started an account here looking for the good stuff, hopefully thinkspot or something else will fill in the quality discussion blank on the web atm.
