Before I came to CF, I spent a few years on the Christian forums of Reddit. /r/Christianity can be a toxic place, but after a while you learn to wade through it and find the gems. Some of the subreddit admins will ban you for posting something that disagrees with their beliefs.

I agree, when I registered on Reddit many years ago r/Christianity turned me off pretty quick. I exclusively hang out in about four subs now: r/Catholicism, r/TraditionalCatholics, r/Conservative, and r/SFGiants ... and even the last one can be a total cesspool but I like to root for my team with other fans and keep up with team news that way.

I've been on CF since 2008 and it's always been a safe haven in that sense, you definitely don't have to worry about the deviants that you find on Reddit.

Yeah… Reddit is too far out there for me. I like to keep my thoughts uncluttered, and just try to make up my mind about stuff by using my senses. I don’t trust articles, media, studies, or “facts”, anymore. I hate to say it, but I really do think our media has reached a tipping point; it’s best to turn it off.

Reddit is so far left it’s like a ghoulish, creepy parody of itself. Something’s not right there. It’s either a bot-and-troll heavy “think farm” masquerading as a discussion site, or just a place to generally avoid.

It is, it's really a terrible terrible place. But I think about 1/4 the stuff I post on here I found on one of the Catholic Reddit subs first. So for all it's terrible-ness, there are a couple small bright spots. Nevertheless, your point is well-made, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone with any semblance of morality.

Reddit, to me, is a reflection of society as it truly is, and what it truly thinks (no filter). This is what happens when you combine anonymity with zero repercussions. Although, I don't like the opposite end of the spectrum either (Google, Facebook). Forums like CF show that you can have a healthy balance.

What we're seeing in society is proof to me that we are truly living in the days of Noah. I can't even imagine Sodom and Gomorrah being this bad, but it most likely was worse.

I sometimes regret ever touching a computer, or buying a smart phone. It would be nice to be disconnected from it all, but if we did that we wouldn't be able to spread the good news to a wider audience. If it weren't for that I'd have shunned technology a long time ago.

A part of me still wants to be a hermit. lol

Substack is a decent place to go and read articles by dissident writes such as Glen Greenwald. It is pay but they always allow you to read for free .

CF is all I do. Other than that, I’m a hermit, lol. A happy hermit.

I've never been on Reddit. Or Twitter. Or anyplace else, really, other than here and Facebook.

I guess I'm a troglodyte, LOL.
