Out of all the social platforms around, I think Reddit has the best model for organizing and segmenting content and user-based content control... I'm not referring to the mobile app of course, but the desktop version allows the user to control what they see for the most part, outside of not being able to block undesirable subreddits. With Ad Block (of course) it is fairly enjoyable, outside of the occasional unexpected (NSFW) snuff clips you see on it for absolutely no good reason.
My preferred way of viewing reddit content when I am not using the old reddit desktop version with RES is usually on "redditp.com". Reddit is not great mind you, there's plenty of room for improvement, but it's a welcome break from the ultra-repetitive and deeply psychologically manipulative ad laced feeds that TikTok and Instagram have. Redditp.com is a video and picture scroller that is also customizable by modifying the site URL, so content from specific subreddits can be viewed on it by scrolling rather than by expanding each individual post.
They really need a UI that allows subreddit titles to be selectable on it. They also need to reign in moderators that strictly control subreddits to enrich themselves and shut out others mind you...
The desktop experience on Reddit needs to be protected at all costs, everybody is trying to turn Social Media into dictatorial Cable TV with Commercials (where you have no control over what you see) everywhere now.
