View submission: Why are you still on Reddit?
Less stupid memes, few video clips, it’s just people conversing for the most part. Since it’s arranged in subjects, if you wanna avoid politics, you mostly can.

Exactly this. You follow subjects and not people on reddit.
If my racist neighbor is also a great crocheter, i can enjoy the fiber art without the klan.
And because reddit is mostly anonymous, you don't even know the crochet you admire is made by your neighbor at all!

I am 72 and have been on Reddit 3 years. Same as MinkieTheCat. I have actual conversations on topics that interest me. Learn new things.

53yo male here. This and the way the upvote mechanism magically seems to quells negativity. To be dramatic about it, Reddit somehow brings the best of humanity out of us just like FB seems to evoke our worst.

This right here. Plus, I can write my little screeds about Montessori on the proper subs and feel accomplished somehow, lol

This, less adds, and can choose the groups you want to be in.

Yes, I love the conversational aspect of it. I think it’s *because* I’m older that I prefer it. I can’t stand all the quick cut videos on other platforms.

You can’t lately. Reddit is in meltdown mode. Every sub is full of posts of complaining and fear mongering
