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.

I don't have a specific worst. The best was when I was complaining about my [then] wife for the umpteenth time. I don't remember which sub it was. Someone responded with, "Are you familiar with Borderline Personality Disorder? If not, you should look it up."

I did look it up. It explained everything I had seen up to that point. It is as like someone had written a text book about my wife. I was both relieved and terrified.

That was the starting point of getting out of that awful abusive relationship and getting my life back on track.
