Gonna have to buck the trend and say, no.
I had good experiences on Reddit, I was active in a few different communities and had good engagement without the 'avalanche of toxic responses' some people here are describing.
I'm leaving Reddit due to the changes at the top, not because of problems at the grass roots.
I pretty much only posted on Reddit to ask questions I couldn't easily find answers to and also never got the toxicity that other people experienced. I think I'm mostly just moving because a lot of the subs I followed on Reddit are shut down for good anyway and it seems like a good time to jump ship for an open source option.
