This is from my post on r/negareddit the other day:

I only use it because it fills niches I haven't found anywhere else. Such as:

1. Topic specific communities where you can get a wide variety of input in mass.

2. Has a generally progressive leaning user base so it's not as flooded with harmful slurs and ignorant human rights views on politically "neutral" subs.

3. Level of privacy that allows you to say/ask/confess things that you might otherwise not want know associates to affiliate with you.

4. Karma. This is honestly a pro and a con. Especially since we mock people for winning fake Internet points despite that describing karma to a T. But of course it's satisfying to see the asshole arguing with us get downvoted to oblivion.

To me, the cons of reddit heavily outweigh the pros but most of my posts on here are because I don't know where else to ask.
