I've never met such a mass of nationalism and racism paired with lack of knowledge an opinion value vs facts than on Reddit. It's even worse than Facebook nowadays in terms of quality of audience.

Sadly, since Google+ is gone, it's now home to some groups that moved to Reddit, but I'm sick and tired of the racism and nationalism there and the half truths and the whole unculture.

If I was a dictator, Reddit would be the 1st domain I'd ban. For the betterment of humanity.

Funny, i created this account after years of lurking because I’m trying to get away from Reddit

I feel the same. With forums, I feel it’s easier to get familiarized with other users. Not sure why, but it definitely feels more communal than Reddit

Smaller subreddits can be fine. I browse a couple big ones that aren’t completely gone yet

I am rather new on Reddit. And I use the official app. Is there other alternatives?

definitely, i do not like the official app. you can try Relay for Reddit, Sync for reddit, Boost, Infinity, if you are on android. (i personally use reddit is fun, but that's because im accustomed to it, it's ugly)

on iphone, apollo is undoubtedly the best choice.

I'm an old time user...still use BaconReader (before there were better alternatives out there). It's buggy..but I'm so used to the interface I just can't use anything else.

If on iOS, Apollo (https://apolloapp.io) is excellent

I used to use RedReader. But it got too addictive, so now I use old.reddit.com on mobile.

Slide for Reddit. It's on both iOS and Android. It's also open source.
