In the darkest, deepest cracks of hell lie tiny bits of heaven.
http://www.reddit.com/r/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon/ Is a very kind community which basicly just chuck gifts at each other constantly. http://www.reddit.com/r/SuicideWatch A bunch of awesome redditors helping out other's in very bad times, expecting no reward and comments rarely get more than 20 points. http://www.reddit.com/r/TheBluePill/ A hillarious subreddit dedicated to making fun of the red pill EDIT: Found http://xkcd.com/800/ in /r/TheBluePillNothing good seems to come from Reddit
Yeah. It's sometimes said around there that reddit isn't worth it unless you're subscribed to the smaller subs. It can take some time looking for ones that you like, but there are pockets of good communities/nice people there too.
Even some of the larger subs aren't that bad. /r/AskScience has a set of tireless moderators that have managed to maintain the subreddit's quality despite its popularity.
/r/AskScience doesn't have moderators. it has heroes who rise to action when needed.
Protectors that stalk new, slicing through crap posts and puns, making the sub safer for everyone like a mother cat carrying it's kittens through a raging fire of trolls and rule breakers, to emerge completely unscaved and alert for the next threat. AskScience is love.
AskScience is life.
