true, but the people who visit the fucked-up communities bleed over into the other ones.the main subreddits ("funny", pics, politics, wtf, videos, atheism) contain largely a bunch of shit that is then redigested and so on. no original content at all, is utterly fucking boring. also, the comments that get paid attention to in those subreddits are often preeetty racist and misogynist. not always, but sometimes. often enough that it's tiring. it's a gigantic one-joke circlejerk.smaller subcommunities can be kind of nice. I like r/vinyl at times, can be helpful. or tv show subreddits. but even those get stuck up their own ass with memes, then ironic adoption of the meme, then reinstatement of authenticity of the meme because now it's a classic, yadda yadda.I mean, that shit happens in most places on the internet, but other forms of social media have other draws or are more willing to change in good ways or have a larger good side to offer. reddit has a gigantic dark annoying side with occasional silver linings.
