The average large subreddit has low quality left wing discourse, and the large conservative subreddits have low quality right wing discourse.
I thinking mentioning them by name might ruin them, but there are definitely subreddits out there with a diverse range of political views and good discussion on those topics. I think it’s impossible for large subreddits to maintain reasonable conversation about politics because of the piling-on and brigading behaviors that occur.
- willis936 5y agoHN is not reddit. I wouldn't mention HN by name on reddit for fear of damaging the community. The reverse is not true.
- fshbbdssbbgdd 5y agoFor the same reasons that I wouldn’t mention HN on reddit, I also wouldn’t mention small high-quality subreddits in other parts of reddit, or anywhere public.
