Remember when an engaged worldnews moderator got sent to federal prison, because she was Ghislane Maxwell?
statistically, reddit mods are far more likely to be involved in serious crimes and felonies.

#14Maybe it’s just the way I use Reddit, but I still find it very informative and engaging. I subscribe to communities I can’t find elsewhere and the small niche communities there are fantastic. For instance, in r/peloton which I follow heavily, a number of pros post there and engage with their fans.
I stay far away from the front page, even my own. I use an rss reader for all the subs and when I want to comment I login into old.reddit.

Was this actually confirmed?

#16Like most of the internet, this site included, it's about how you use it and where you choose to participate. You can get dirty by digging, of course. But there are still excellent communities on reddit that you really can't find anywhere else.
I'd argue it's more true on Reddit than anywhere. Subreddits are fairly self contained.
Other social media sites I feel like I'm fighting off a wave of whatever the site wants / momentum of all the users is.
Granted that doesn't mean they're completely isolated, a lot of smaller subs I was a part of have fallen into a mess of spam and engagement bots and so on so my total subs I'm interested in has fallen off.

This is my view of Tiktok and Instagram as well. People always complain about how it's all AI or dancing videos, but if you use it properly you can very easily get thoughtful stuff. I get musicians, local restaurant recommendations, film analysis, simpsons clips etc.
It's up to you to learn not to doomscroll where it starts showing you garbage after it burns through your personal feed.
