Story as I see it:
OP goes to subreddits full of hyper-polarized edge lords
OP tries to respond with (what he thinks is) reasoned debate
OP gets virtually run out of town on a rail
You wouldn't get this sort of behavior on a well managed niche subreddit. There's tons of great technical subreddits. None of them are remotely mainstream. The best ones are 50k subs or less.
This article is a case study of "Play Stupid Games, Win Stupid Prizes". Reddit isn't broken. OP's expectations are.

Know any great non-technical ones, such as for politics / current events? > Reddit isn't broken. OP's expectations are. I don't see how quality discussion isn't a reasonable expectation.
