How is Facebook different from Twitter or Reddit? I personally think Reddit is extremely dangerous because on the surface many subreddits appear lighthearted, but are actually gateways to extreme views.

/r/ActualPublicFreakouts promises some snarky laughs but is pushing the viewpoint that black people are inherently violent. And that is being heavily pushed by Reddit via the popular posts view.

This is like asking how an ocean is different from a swimming pool.

It's the scale!

Reddit has 330 million users, which is nothing to sneeze at.
