- It leads to tip 3, which is just. don't. reddit. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 19, 13:55 8
  - I mean reddit is great for like "seriously how do I clean this grout?" but actively participating is generally very toxic. -- nm - amanda jeans Jan 19, 13:57 6
    - It really depends on the subreddit. Some are really great. It's really choose your own adventure. -- nm - spamlet Jan 19, 14:01 5
      - Yep. I try not to be active, but I do frequently check the local subreddit. It's like a grouchy, cynical shadow of NextDoor. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 19, 14:13 1
        
        Oh our local subreddit is toxic but I just don’t read the comments. -- nm - spamlet Jan 19, 15:30
      - It's an excellent way to keep up with news as long as you ignore the comments. -- nm - Reagen Jan 19, 14:06 2
        
        Yes but the top one or two comments usually suss out the inherent bullshit of the article. Or have that salient counterpoint you want to see. -- nm - con_carne Jan 19, 15:25
        
        I really don't see the negativity on Twitter, Facebook, and Reddit that people talk about as much as I see it on forums. - Max Jan 19, 14:54
  - (And lest David chime in with his concerns about Grumpy Old Man syndrome, I don't follow this tip. 😂) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 19, 13:55
