Not really.

The best parts of Twitter are amongst professional circles where people use their real names and can provide unique insight into topics that you would never get anywhere else. For example all of the open source intelligence with Ukraine or learning about the intricacies of Brexit from actual trade negotiators.

Whereas if you look at Reddit right now it is inundated with posts about the Depp/Heard case. And there is a visceral hatred towards Heard which is being driven by socially awkward, young men who are self-radicalising. It's really scary to watch.
