Reddit is honestly my favorite community site by a good mile. I sometimes forget that the horrible content exists because I’ve honed it so well to quality subreddits. It’s the only place where I can consistently get quality interaction related to my interests. r/programming is my fallback for HN, and sometimes it’s a better source of actual programming content.

In terms of quality, Reddit mods are hugely important. I was a mod for my city’s sub, and it was a constant effort to filter out the low-quality or toxic content.
