There are challenges to the groupthink. They are downvoted into oblivion.

For particular groups, where it is a place to discuss things amongst themselves, that's defensible, but in r/news, r/politics? Today, in r/technology of all places, there were some utterly disgusting hate being spewed because Ivanka Trump is going to CES for some reason.

Oh, the default subs are absolute trash. Don't expect anything worthwhile from them.

And some non-defaults are pretty toxic, like /r/mfa or /r/bodybuilding. They'll straight up mock you there for legitimate questions.

However, the great thing about reddit is it's highly subreddit dependent, and you can always find a new, better community.
