The political side of Reddit just got...exhausting. I can't stress that enough. "Don't you dare have an opinion that's different than mine!" And it seeps into literally everything, every sub, every discussion. There was no intelligent discourse to be had, and if there seemed like there was, it fast became name calling and "internet arguments with strangers" but with longer words.
Not been here long, but I notice I tend to...it sounds silly, but I actually read the articles others post. If something is insightful, I vote it as such. I couldn't even be bothered to participate before. Whatever the difference is, it's good, and it's working. Hell, I even posted an intro and responded to a reply. Almost all I ever did on Reddit was be depressed and lurk.

Ehhh heh sweatdrop I don't always read the articles. Perhaps I should do that more. And make more of an effort to post insightful stuff or stuff that otherwise actually contributes to the discussion. I guess these forums aren't really meant as a place to just socialize.
Glad you're having a better time here so far.

Exhausting is the perfect word for the political side of reddit. It's like arguing with a wall. A wall that hates you, haha.

I get you 100%. The political stuff was getting completely over the top and out of hand. I was sick of seeing it on basically every sub. This place seems very good so far, although I can't figure out my subscriptions. Resetting them didn't work, and nor did unsubbing from some.

I clicked on "my subs" in the top left, and in the drop down menu "edit subs." That being said I'm a laptop poster, not a phone poster. Your mileage may vary. :P
