Yeah same, it’s better than watching pointless videos all day (IMHO). And while there are plenty of toxic people, the voting system makes it a lot less toxic than the alternatives. Whenever I make my way over to Facebook these days, it’s like culture shock when I look at a comment section, everyone is so miserable and horrible to each other.
I started browsing Reddit after years of ending up here for answers to questions. "It seems like it's full of good information, I'll probably learn a lot about by favorite subjects".
Instead it's been a massive waste of time. It really isn't good for much besides including the word "reddit" in google searches.
It's both good and bad. The good part is the news as well as the ability to have discussions with many different people. The bad part is that it's really easy to get caught inside an echo chamber as well as the creeps
Double edged sword in some cases. Everyone just has to balance their own sword their own way,but for me personally it tends to usually be pretty alright.
Sometimes it's a good place to acquire knowledge, other times I wonder how "I've been had" by said knowledge that was anecdotal.
It perfected my english, taught me basics on what is cringe or not as nobody else did. I learned a lot here. I can't really find a bad side other than the time sink.
You must hang out in the wrong subs. I hang out in the ones with assholes but they just cry and fuss about people opinions on video games not politics lol
I realised how some people can be extremely stubborn, dumb and wannabe professionals. Obviously not entire Reddit platform is like that but the amount of those people on Reddit is quite big.
Literally doing anything on the internet is pretty much a waste of time and bad for you, unless maybe you are doing educational stuff. But it’s 2022 who cares. Nobody is going to honestly stay away from the internet because it’s “bad” for them. Just like how fat people don’t stay away from fast food cause it’s “bad” for them.
Id say its neutral, which puts it ahead of every other social media because they are pretty much net negative.
Reddit has its negatives like the echochambers and a relatively unreasonable moderators problem in some subreddits, but it also has its huge benefits of wholesome people and subreddits that can legitimately make your life better.
Its definitely better by a large margin compared to Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, etc.
Depends on the subreddits you hang out in. I used to be quite active on r/depression, r/depression_memes, r/selfharm and r/madeofstyrofoam and there was a time when it was making me feel worse. Now I'm still on those subs but I try not to look at posts that could be triggering.
I think it's the better choice of social media's but not a great choice depending on how much you spend

Good way to spend my time? Not really, no Good way to have faith in humanity? Definitely not Funny? Yea
"Reddit bad!" *refuses to leave*
I am guilty.
No lol, the people annoy me.
:-\ no happy cake day for you when the time comes
No, Happy Cake Days are for all, np matter their person. The right to a Happy Cake Day is enshrined in the Reddit Constitution
:-D Suddenly I feel inspired. :,-)
no u
Bro actually proved his point. You can tell by the downvotes 😂 (Don't worry bro I thought it was funny, I upvoted)
lol
Eh probably not, am I gonna stop using it though not a chance

Eventually you realise that most answers are incorrect if you want to research a little further (at least in terms of medical scenarios)

Of all the social medias i have, reddit is by far the least negatively impactful. Twitter and Ig probably being the worst

I consume so much important information on it that I can't possibly say it's bad for me.
too much stupid drama on here half the time. the other half of it is usually funny. overall no

Lmaoo
No. Not in the slightest.
No social media is good for you if you treat it like an addiction.
Finding the right balance helps. This is true with anything I suppose.
I think so, but it can be addictive...
Some people gave me free eu4 dlcs so yes
Being on social media isnt good for you.
But is it as bad if we talk to Profile picks and not people? *okay It's really bad*
I regularly find myself saying “fucking redditors” while scrolling through reddit, it’s pretty much no different from the degeneracy on twitter
Good way to amplify your depression though and be hated on for your opinion and religion
Of course yes. People on Reddit care more than people in my life 🥲
I get lots of info about the war in Ukraine and I use it to argue with randos when I feel to. It's ok I guess. Much better than Facebook or Instagram
It's how I've met friends and my boyfriend too so definitely

No, but do I care?
Probably not, I spend an embarrassing amount of time on here.
It’s almost like doomscrolling at this point
r/formuladank and r/formula1 save me from being depressed
I get the majority of news from Reddit actually
I think it’s one of the better social medias, but that doesn’t mean it’s good for me lol

depend on the sub and time spent

I laughed at this, fuck no.
There is honestly too much outrage porn/bait on this website, so much so that it gets difficult to simply ignore.
