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.



Run by mods who will silence, kick and ban you for spurious reasons.

Sorry, no.
How tight is that tinfoil hat you're wearing?

I certainly won't deny Reddit isn't without its faults, especially the mainsub, but on the whole both it, the discussion variant and general purpose discords are not really different than the OF. The one benefit of downvoting is it does prevent conversation derailing like this thread was long subjected to as responses aren't buried under a mire of useless back and forths. Is it abused? Absolutely. Just not to the extent you're implying.
