Context and nuance? On Reddit? Usually I think it lacks both.

If Twitter is the frame of reference being used, then Reddit wins out by virtue of layout and content allowances.

Trying to cram context and nuance, about topics that can be very big and complicated, into 280 character text bites is not the easiest task.

While the character limit for a Reddit comment is 10k.

I think its wrong to speak about Reddit as a whole. There a lot of small moderated communities where you can discuss anything without "noise". Just ignore most popular sabs.

Yay, someone downvoted me just like on a reddit!

Is it a front-page sub? or a niche / specialized / hobby sub?

Lowest common denominator means front page or highly trafficked subs will be terrible. But find a smaller community and it's generally better.
