#13I find Reddit to be insufferable when dealing with code, simply because of how terrible a job it does with code. But many of the communities are vibrant and helpful, despite the less than ideal venue. Discord on the other hand is phenomenal.

It does a poor job with code... but I would contend that most of the terrible job that it does is because people don't know how to (or refuse to) pay reasonable attention to what the format of their code is when one looks at the page.
A lot of it is a "copy and paste the code and walk away" - not really caring about how it looks when the page is rendered.
With Discord (and slack and even teams) the ability to paste a code is easier because rich text gets pasted as rich text and there's also even more advanced "collapsible code snippets".
And so... out of the "reddit's terrible job with code" I only attribute 25% of that to Reddit itself and 75% to the "people aren't caring about their post."

I hope communities start moving off of Reddit onto more traditional forums. Yes, having a single login for multiple communities is very convenient, but I think overall it's bad for communities to be tied to the Reddit platform.

Why should everyone have to spend time formatting code for reddit that looked perfectly fine in whatever editor it was copied from? Why can’t reddit just display code properly?
