Because people who say “Reddit is a dumpster fire” are usually just thinking of r/Politics, RedPill, TheDonald, LateStageCapitalism, basically any remotely political subreddit... when, in reality, there are plenty of subreddits where quality conversation can be had and some where people just share art or animal pictures, and these are pleasant places to kill some time (although there’s almost always per-subreddit groupthink, but it’s not like HN doesn’t also suffer from that in some cases).

- skohan 6y agoYeah I think a huge advantage Reddit has over other social networks is that it's broken up into myriad communities which are able to develop their own norms and self-govern to some degree. In smaller communities, this totally sidesteps some of the issues you have on a platform like Twitter, where people with very different beliefs and assumptions are essentially having conversations about how much they don't like each-other in the same room.
