They have good content and good comments. Funny junk is interspersed with news and occasional trivia and life stories. The thoughtful comments really are great and have helped me understand some POVs and hear about other people’s lives.
This just does not happen on Facebook for example. Most groups and posts are run into the ground by junk comments that make discussion impossible because there’s no downvote that eventually hides them. In a way Facebook is more equal but unfortunately not every commenter is equally decent.
- realce 5y agoEver notice the difference is that people on FB have identities to defend but reddit users are just anon usernames with no identity tied to it? I think this is a serious aspect of why they produce different conversations.
- cunthorpe 5y agoI think you haven’t been on Facebook in a while. People say the most ridiculous things and bully each other. No such thing as shame on Facebook.
