For some reason I have never checked out Reddit at all over the past few years. A gradually dispiriting experience with Twitter had dominated, fleeting looks at Facebook and a perplexed feeling about Thread, but never Reddit.

I took some time to check the heart condition that I am working with at the moment and found a group dedicated to people who I share the problem with, and what a revelation it has been. Being able to discuss symptoms, potential fixes that can help reduce the pain and simply being able to chat with people who understand has been hugely positive for me.

From there I found myself joining some other groups dedicated to interests I have and so far there has been very few trolls or people, the ones you want to punch in the face every day, who seem to dominate the likes of Twitter.

I don’t know why I have never checked out Reddit, but so far it is proving to be an immensely useful and positive experience, and this is after the owners tried to ruin it some time ago. Shows you can always discover something good if you look hard enough.
