Reddit enables more than just racist, it's a nasty cesspool the like of 4chan, riddled with bots, the CEO himself is a POS.

It's a fucked up website but if you think it's remotely as bad as 4chan then I've assumed you've never been to /pol/. Reddit doesn't allow the n word.

Agreed. Spez's support of The_Donald was the beginning of the end (although as he was a mod of jailbait before it was banned, it was clear that Trump wasn't the genesis of Spez's sickness), and now there's nothing left of the communities that made it great. There's hasn't been anything rewarding about contributing there since about 2014.
