I was being trolled within like 2 posts when I first signed up for reddit, long after it was up and running, the place has never interested me. When I tried it, I discovered that it's one of those "social" websites that gives you no power to filter your feed or ignore people. And honestly, I bump into posts in my searches especially about golang stuff but almost never is really that useful source of information, though I know there is some experts in things there.
If that's something about being "balanced" I call bullshit, that's just straight up social domination and a bunch of pompous jerks dispensing their opinions as though anyone actually gives a fuck. It's a different story when the place is new and the system is still being built but Reddit is far past that and the place is a fucking nest of drones.
