I disagree. Mainstream reddit also has a lot of toxic upvoted comments, just the opposite opinions.
The only good parts of reddit are the small hyper-focused communities. Everything else is trash.
I disagree with this only because there are some larger subreddits that, by and large, are pretty great. Most of the sports-related subreddits I'm subscribed to (which is the majority of my redditing anyway) are pretty large, but are generally kept in check. But when you go to places with charged topics like religion, politics, and fandoms, it can get out of hand pretty quickly.

As for the debate, it's hard to compare to Instagram because they serve very different purposes. Reddit is tough to define as "social media" because most of the interaction is anonymous; it's more in line with a discussion board such as this.

Tell your friend(s) going to Johns Hopkins to help with Maryland SO (or join the Hopkins quidditch team), maybe I'll run into them. ;)

I'm sitting in a practice room right now and the person in the room next to me is practicing/running through Ravel's Bolero, and it's about the most boring thing ever...

The fact that you're in a practice room, and you're just sitting there listening to someone else practice speaks volumes.

You can't be bored if you're also practicing!

Looking through last year's Superlatives, I find it interesting to note that I was nominated for 7 of 'em, having been on here for less than 4 months...
