Farewell...

[Neil Jones]

Reddit's actually not that bad an idea. Within each subreddits the threads and posts are structured similarly, but the way that threads are displayed and are ordered is a bit different. I don't think you'd get long term threads such as Breakdown Appreciation etc. as they don't rise to the top when someone posts in it, the ordering is 'New, Best, Hot, controversial'. That's not a problem really it's just a new way of working to get used to

It would save a lot of work as all the hard work is done

Reddit's only slightly less toxic than Twitter (it is after all just Twitter on steroids) but with the concept of downvoting and its never appealed.
If you get into the right subreddits you can find some decent communities on there but I would question whether Reddit as a whole fits our style of discussion.

To be honest the whole of social media is varying degrees of toxicity; that's what happens when Joe Public can write any old crap on it and the only "punishment" is to get your account suspended/stopped. In an ideal world the whole lot would just cave in and destroy itself with its own toxicity and maybe something good could come out of that like a phoenix rising from the ashes.
