I don't really use reddit but have ended up following links to it a few times recently. I was really struck by all of the rules about what you could and couldn't say in many forums, mainly just how both specific and front and center they were. It strikes me as much more like a kindergarten than e.g. HN, where users are treated like kids and carefully monitored. I assume that's because of how many users they have in many subreddits.
