It's an interesting trade-off... toxic subreddits exist, and hitting the front page instantly creates an Eternal September. BUT Reddit also gives you a suite of moderation tools out of the box. You can set rules, and benefit from site-wide policies that keep you on the right side of the law most of the time.

It's not perfect, but it's good enough that it seems to have won the segment by a fairly large margin.

The moderation tools are pretty poor once you start needing to do anything more advanced than banning users.
