>it has actual discussion
>unlike boards like /pol/ that just cry and complain when they see something they don't like
Yeah instead of arguing with you, they just downboat until nobody sees your comment anymore.
>The one thing that happened that I didn't like was when I told them windows 10 spies on them on /r/Microsoft, which they downbloated me to oblivion.
Whoa would you look at that, unpopular opinions get censored so nobody gets triggered. Sounds like a great site to me.
>If you go there, avoid the meme boards.
This more than anything. Some subs are alright, but at its core reddit is not for free speech. If you want to be a normalfag and feel like you belong, you can pretend you agree with anything and avoid posting anything controversial. It's not really a site for discussion, I just browse game subs there for info and dank memes.
