reddit is about to suffer the same mass exodus Digg did if they keep up the shit brigade.. That site has gone to hell since the election.. ruined by shills and bots in every subreddit.. can't be bothered w/ it anymore.. sick of reading about Trump and Hillary.

Stick to the smaller technical subreddits.
Programming subreddits, aside from a few well moderated ones, are more full of vitriol, fanboyism, and misinformation than HN.
Also the smaller local ones (for your Town/City/etc).
/r/portland exists in an unending state of butthurt, but your town may be different!
So is /r/nyc :( all trump all the time
In the UK, /r/CasualUK is quite chill
/r/Austin is toxic beyond words. There are sometimes great gems though, which still makes it worthwhile to comb through the piles of racist trolling and other muck but it gets to be a harder job every week. The mods just don't give a flipping flip. It is sad.
you can unsubscribe from the toxic communities and subscribe to the wholesome/uplifting ones. seriously i dont know why so many people complain about stuff entirely within their control
