I agree. I used to browse /r/all all the time, but now it's just untenable. There are a handful of good subreddits left, and if you only read those it can be OK, but man you're right it's 99% garbage. I feel like I'm conversing with a crowd of children when I use that site. Every once in a blue moon you have a logical discussion with someone, but it's definitely the exception rather than the rule on reddit these days.

I see your account is 2 hours old, so welcome to saidit! Here's some more stuff about the site if you want to learn more about how saidit works and how it differs from reddit: https://saidit.net/s/SaidIt/comments/37r/welcome_to_saiditnet/

What good subreddits would you say are left?

Non-political ones like r/formula1 or r/kerbalspaceprogram are usually quite nice, except for the few times a post hits the front page.

Even my favorite sports sites have all become enforced echo chambers whereas 4 years ago argumentation was actively encouraged and understand to be a positive part about interacting.

That's very well said. Argumentation used to be a benefit, not a downside. But people also kept it more civil back then. Probably because there are more young and less intelligent people online now.

This is why I’m not all that opposed to getting rid of net neutrality. I want my 2006 internet back dammit! /s
