What was your best and worst experience on Reddit? (lemmy.ml)

Tell the best experience or interaction you had on Reddit, and the worst one.

The best for me would be when r/egg_irl helped me realize I was in fact, not cis. Or when r/aspiememes helped me comprehend that my psychologist at the time was wrong. The worst one would be every single time I had to deal with powertriping mods or when I had to fight the rampant transphobia in the platform.

Reddit's wikis are a hidden goldmine of really reliable, easy to understand info not tainted by promotions or corporate interest or plain old misinformation. Posts too, really. That video about Reddit that went viral just before Reddit pulled the API pricing bullshit (the one about the guy searching for the best maple syrup) had a lot of truth in it.

As for worst experience, I really think all I can come up with is the recent API pricing situation and subsequent vitriol from spez.
