&gt;This year I&#x27;ve stopped using Reddit. They really are just toxic, and incredibly wasteful.<p>I have to disagree about Reddit.  Reddit is a huge site, with over 250,000 subreddits.  Some parts of it are indeed toxic, &#x2F;r&#x2F;politics is a good example of this.  But there&#x27;s tons of subreddits for various obscure things, and they&#x27;re nice places to talk to like-minded people.  For instance, there&#x27;s a subreddit for my car, and there&#x27;s no toxicity there, just people asking questions about stuff and exchanging tips (&quot;has anyone else experienced this problem?&quot;).  Or there&#x27;s subreddits where people just post pictures of stuff and comment on them (&#x2F;r&#x2F;earthporn is a good example if you like pretty nature photos).<p>The toxicity comes when you have a forum where there&#x27;s wildly divergent views, so naturally something like &#x2F;r&#x2F;politics is going to be filled with nastiness (and for good reason: people who support that other candidate are idiots!! :-)  But in someplace like &#x2F;r&#x2F;earthporn, what is there to fight about?  &quot;This picture of the Grand Canyon at sunset is gorgeous!&quot; &quot;No it isn&#x27;t, you&#x27;re a moron!&quot;  Some things just lend themselves to conflict a lot more than other things.  It&#x27;s pretty hard to get into an ideological fight about a nature photo.  So if you restrict yourself to those subreddits, you can avoid any toxicity I think.
