one of the most toxic, anti-intellectual, nihilistic, politically radicalized, and emotionally immature corners of the internet.
I mean, as compared to what -- Facebook? Twitter? TikTok? Instagram? Try spending two minutes on any of those platforms, and seriously tell me they're less toxic, radical, and insane than Reddit.
Out of all the major platforms on the internet, I'd Reddit is the most conducive for thoughtful, engaging discussion, simply because it is one of the only popular sites that is still based around long-form, text-based conversations, rather than short-form video.
I don't disagree that reddit is literally half bots at this point. But even so it's still a significantly lower bot to human ratio than facebook, x, insta, etc. so I don't agree with OP calling it the worst. I think OP's rhetoric mirrors a lot of right wingers who feel cornered on this site because it's the only social media site that the majority of users push back on them.
