It's been many years since I actually had an argument on reddit. It's usually:

  • post opinion on the topic at hand

  • weed through the brigade of morons who usually have no clue what they're talking about, don't read the article, and simply shout their slogans

  • OR they look through my myriad posts and find one that is troubling to them and try to discredit anything I've sad based on that one, off-topic post from 5 years ago

It was fun years ago when I showed up there, and I even had some really good conversations, but in the past few years, that just doesn't happen. You're more likely to get bot/mod banned for unknown/bullshit reasons than you are to have a genuine conversation. I know, [gasp], imagine wanting to have a discussion on a discussion forum.

So much this ^

It's almost impossible to have any conversation on Reddit anymore, at least on the mainstream subs.

The only way to have any debate on Reddit without being instantly downvoted and reported to mods, is posting on some small, obscure subs that barely have any active mods or just PM potential conversation partner and have conversation with your chosen user in private chat instead.
