I stopped because I found that looking at reddit would negatively alter my perceptions of reality. Hacker news doesn't seem to do that. I also found that conversations on reddit were not very engaging but rather formulaic. It wasn't about having a discussion, just towing a party line (whatever the party for the particular subreddit might be).
- themadturk 3y agoI use it because domain-specific subreddits are usually gems of advice and discussion. r/ObsidianMD, r/YNAB, etc. are often as useful, of not moreso, than product forums. Also, there are many subreddits that are simply fun... r/BitchImATrain, for instance, or even the great, highly moderated r/AskHistorians. The bigger, more general subreddits may be burning trash heaps, but there's good stuff if you dig.
