To me they have the ability to be equally as bad (and this is coming from someone who see’s the negative view of social media as overblown). What makes Reddit a bit more dangerous is their higher technical ability to do damage as opposed to Twitter social ability. In my opinion Reddit is more susceptible to hive mind theatrics since the site is specific designed with communities/groups in mind. You can bookmark a subreddit page and spend your entire experience on that subreddit. Twitter makes that a bit difficult as, while you can choose who you can follow, you cannot choose what the people you follow tweet, retweet, reply to which will inevitably expose you to different views and vice versa. You can try to build a bubble on Twitter but something will inevitably slip in.
