/r/hardware has passed 1M users, and is quite obviously afflicted by passionate sectarian disagreements between loyalists to different brands. There's also a lot of generally ill-informed and low-effort commenting there. But the mods there do put in some genuine effort, and a large fraction of that community seems to have a limit to the degree of BS they'll upvote.
Compare to /r/AMD_Stock which has a fraction of the size but basically exists to take sides in one of those contentious issues. Most of the time I venture there, I come away with the impression that an outright majority of the comments are shitposts that the community would be better off without. Though I don't think even on that subreddit that I've run into any egregious violations of Reddit policy.
