I stopped using Reddit a while ago when it became clear that they had a pretty adversarial relationship with their users. Their moderation is terrible, the community ranges from unpleasant and repetitive to downright toxic, the content is better found elsewhere, and the administration is incompetent and amoral at best.
I’ve never once felt like I missed out on something by eschewing Reddit, and every time I check to see if it’s changed for the better it is markedly worse. Reddit, Imgur, Instagram, Facebook, are just bad places to be. There are a couple of good subreddits to read occasionally, like askhistorians, but you don’t need an account to read it. Actually participating gets old, fast.
