This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

It isn’t one big one, but many small ones. There definitely are good subreddits. A fair amount of it is an unsophisticated topical feed from users (i.e., no type of algorithm other than moderation). The worst ones enforce the echo chamber and are negative cesspools.

Always depends on the people. That’s my number one lesson in life. The healthiness of a community relies on that entirely. My problem with Reddit tends to be anonymous nature (potential) emboldens people to have more open conversations. But with that comes a whole lot of baggage.
John Bellone ⁉️ (@jbellone.dev) reply parent
It depends on which subreddit. Personally, I try to avoid any of the controversial ones.
John Bellone ⁉️ (@jbellone.dev) reply parent
The same for the good as it is for the bad. But it most definitely isn’t the only tool used.
John Bellone ⁉️ (@jbellone.dev) reply parent
Reddit is basically a community bulletin board that has light moderation and curation by the individual community organizers. Effectively, it is an echo chamber.
John Bellone ⁉️ (@jbellone.dev) reply parent
Of course, can say the same thing about FOX, Facebook, 4chan, etc.
John Bellone ⁉️ (@jbellone.dev) reply parent
Reddit (and many other communities) can be a cesspool and I am sure it can “radicalize” people in a sense that they’re in an echo chamber.
