I was under the impression that reddit was where one goes for good, intelligent discussions etc but honestly I have seen much more nuanced discussions on mggo than reddit.

The echo chamber effect overpowers everything else, I am suspecting some of it is due to bots. But even apart from that, reddit is freaky. I got downvoted for sharing my experience with a disease on that disease's 'support group', what's the point of a support group then? Reddit is social media's version of uncanny valley. What's your experience been like?

But what really irks me is ...... 1 reply
