omg Redditor???

YES! you won't catch me dead discussing any sort of media or politics on reddit but I love it for stuff like. cooking subs. fitness. various hobbyposting etc. I also get sports news on there and sometimes the comment sections on those are hilarious but sometimes it's the worst thing on earth. but it has trained me to look away! from bad internet opinions in a way that tumblr could never hope to achieve. I modded a couple decently big subs over the years and I used to get the most unhinged DMs there

I genuinely like reddit because I think it's like sitting at a table in a cafè and overhearing randos' conversations in terms of getting the pulse of what people outside your circles think about various stuff. BUT. I AM irrationally peeved whenever all the r/soccer dudes still think I must be a man. even though my account has a blatantly obvious female usernames and she/her in the user description.
