I was a regular on Reddit until the fall of '08, when the politics started in earnest. Then the whole thing tumbled downwards. There's no faster way to turn a group of otherwise intelligent and reasonable people into a band of monkeys flinging poo at each other.

Politics is a perfect storm of signaling where real-world consequences are almost completely divorced from argumentation. It's the opposite of hacking and startups, where assumptions and opinions are tested in the real world constantly, and feedback is quick and unambiguous.
