My mental health has gotten much better. Even only browsing the lefty subs wasn’t helping since redditors think every thread is a debate forum.
delete it and do not look back

This is how I do it now. Basically not active on any sub with more than like 20k users or if it's a very nice thing like DnD or photography. I avoid any sub about news, current events, popular media, and especially any sub that revolves around making fun of people like InsanePeopleFacebook, those subs are just a melting pot for redditor to get stiffies feeling superior over people. I just don't care
One of the only "big" subs worth following is AskHistorians because they have a really solid moderator team and iron-clad rules.
Agree with you wholeheartedly. Any sub with similar moderation like that is typically good. Chuds and dumb redditors get so mad they can't post stupid reactionary takes on those places too, it's so funny seeing them complain about freeze peach when they tried to post the same stupid pun 10 redditors before them already posted.
Lmao I know exactly what you're talking about. This would have been over a year ago but some dumbass posted a question about the legitimacy of the Nazi argument about how it was actually the Communists that started WWII or something reprehensible along those lines and they got dogpiled hard. The thread got turned into a thread about historical revisionism and was used as an example for what kind of thing not to post. Puts a smile on my face just remembering it.
Hell yeah, I remember that thread. Truly one of the only intellectual spaces on reddit, as much as I hate both using that word and the baggage it has.
There really is some extremely knowledgeable people on that sub. Also really appreciate how quick people are to correct any misinfo and revisionism
