Reddit is a shithole

I remember I got into an argument on reddit awhile ago with a person over Italian food. It got to the point they were following me into other subs to harass me. I clicked on their profile to block them and their most recent post was them drinking their own piss on r/piss. At that moment I realized I had spent so much pointless time arguing about the taste of food with someone who drinks their own piss as a hobby. This site is a shit hole.

To be fair it happens here. Made a comment about far left & right being manipulated by Russian BS about Ukraine and some very tedious people started at me about how Ukraine are Nazis etc. I suppose it demonstrated my point in a roundabout way.

People here love to act like this stuff is exclusive to reddit when it is in fact a thing called "human nature" and can be observed anywhere there are people.

Yeah, it's pretty much everywhere on the internet. It's not unique to reddit or any other site.

There are many valid problems with the Ukraine and it's history. There are many conversations one could have about it and what the world should be doing in response to their situation.

The whole "They are Nazis!" argument doesn't hold water the moment you carry their view point onto something like the US and ask the exact same questions.
