When was the last time when you had a civil discourse (without trolls derailing, spamming and trolling) on a major subreddit?

https://www.reddit.com/user/gear54/ you are free to decide what's what

Now that I think about it, even if something is 'derailed' (and you're not into it, being all serious and stuff), that branch is simply hidden. Something you can't do here.

That you realise that that's a necessary qualifier implies the solution. Yes, you're not going to have good quality discussion on a major/default subreddit. Unsubscribe from them and ignore them. There are a lot (iirc ~10^6) of subreddits, including many perfectly civil communities in there for various niches.
