Reddit can ether help you achieve unbelievable career success, or you can get called names all-day. As I rule I no longer discuss cultural , political, or socio issues on the internet. In my social circles , with some friends, I might talk about this stuff. On the internet it's very easy to forget the human and start acting like a jerk. I've also accepted I don't need everyone to agree with me. For example I don't use social media or online dating. These things weren't good for me mentally. I don't need to write 80 Reddit posts about how right I am. That said, I have found Reddit to be much friendlier than Stack overflow for tech questions. On SO you get banned if you write too many subjective questions. 'What IDE should I use ' gets flagged and 2 or 3 other questions like that and your banned. As long as you aren't straight up belligerent , you won't get banned on Reddit for that. It's a careful balance. Once Corona ends I very much plan on deleting Reddit. Right now it's an interesting distraction , but like other social media it can't replace real human interaction
