Reddit is full of casual racism, sexism, and general xenophobia. The content isn't funny, and the same things get boosted every time they're posted, which really does make it an echo chamber. I agree with eightbitsamurai wholeheartedly.

Also, the average reddit user is completely insufferable, since even when they hold reasonable views, they will never, ever, ever just shut the fuck up about them. Look at their atheist, gaming, and political communities if you don't believe me.

This is coming from someone who used to use reddit, but got sick of it. You can use reddit and be a good person, there's still plenty of good content, and I definitely won't judge you if you use it...but I got sick of it after so many years.
