Agree that reddit is fine for lurking/obtaining obscure information, but I've found engaging with the userbase in any meaningful way to be anywhere from unpleasant to moderately disturbing... these people are mostly the bottom of the barrel once the "we have the same interest... we are the same" mask slips off. A read-only version of the site with upvote/downvote would be strictly better, imo.
