Reddit :

Bad choice:

Has a downvote feature that is MASSIVELY abused, which also has a cute little timout mechanism that SILENCES you whilst you are dogpiled. HOW DARE YOU disagree with me??? Ill downvote you until it shuts you up

Reddit is a hivemind, dare to have a contrary opinion and that cute little centre of "enlightened discussion" will slap a gag on your mouth that wont allow you to respond whilst you are reviled, belittled, insulted and sworn at. The mods that run the subreddits arent any better and run their areas like dictators.

Fair? Balanced? REDDIT??

NO.

and Discord are far better communities.
Run by mods who will silence, kick and ban you for spurious reasons.

Sorry, no.
