I have learned something about Reddit: the Do-Do-Do Principle. If you have a great insight and are popular, you get 5000 karma and golf claps from all the minions. If you are relatively new and have a great insight, they will:
1) Doxx your profile for previous opinions that they will find literally ANY excuse to nitpick and hate on.
2) Downvote your perfectly valid viewpoint using previous posts as nebulously irrelevant ammo.
3) Dogpile you for literally no fucking reason because their actual reasons are off-topic.
Reddit is literally Opinion High School for people who couldn't hack high school opinions.
Reddit is literally your toxic aunt who is judging you at Thanksgiving and snidely dismissing your relevance to humanity.
Reddit has now joined my cynical poopy ragpile of echo chambers along with Facebook, 4chan, and literally every other forum on the Internet except those with moderators who employ awareness of all logical fallacies.
That leaves: zero forums except to gawk at human stupidity, one facebook for long distance friends only, and mostly science and topical blog journals. And one blog where I blather to the irrelevant outer darkness. This one. Hi.
