  It's the people not the layout.

    Depending on the subreddit, the people are less of an issue than on HN.

      Yes, I agree. I've run into some great subreddits and extremely helpful people there. Reddit imo is the best social media experience, almost like the old usenet, if the 'engagey' subreddits are removed from one's list.

        To each their own I guess, to me reddit is a feces filled dumpster fire, even the smart/tech subs lack critical thought and are full of bad/wrong information that gets upvoted.

        Reddit is the best build your own bubble adventure game in all of human history. A few good subreddits here and there don’t make up for the epic toxicity of the broader site. Not to mention it’s functionally unusable unless you happen to know to browse the old.Reddit site. The “main” site is an abomination against the internet.

    Not just people, a lot of the fault is on mods. Talk about Epsteins "suicide" on /r/conspiracy, and get autobanned from a bunch of subreddits, you've never even heard of before.

      Interesting so how deep does the conspiracy go? Is a big portion of Reddit mods trying to cover-up "Epstein" crimes?

        Nah, they decided some subreddits are "bad for advertisers" during the covid time, and /r/conspiracy got put on a long list of "undesirables". The precedent for the was /r/the_donald before that). Some more radical pro-censorship subreddits decided to just ban anyone posting on any of those subreddits, and the sentiment spread to larger subreddits, like eg. /r/pics). Combine conspiracies and covid, and "spreading covid fake news" was the official reason to ban people just by posting to any of such subreddits.
