Reddit if great for niche hyper specific answers and I do enjoy their voting system when it comes to that. It can be abused in some instances/topics just like other platforms but that just takes some critical thinking.
Community run boards on your interests are great. If you don't agree with the way something is run you can find an alternative or make your own. The community will flock to whatever the better solution is. There are hundreds of politcal subreddits for example. If you want your safe space, go there. Or take a gander at a little of everything and form your on conclusions. The later how people should consume media.

I post on the forum dedicated to my favorite sports team and it's not really great. The fact is that basically anything outside of the narrow approved orthodoxy is down voted and disappeared. If you step from the orthodoxy too many times you get banned. It's passive aggressive as hell and you see stuff like people going back and deleting prediction posts they made so people can't find them.

The trouble with Reddit is there's always someone else on there who had the same technical issue you have, and they posted a solution to it.

Sounds like a terrible subreddit. If it's the Mods, make your own as I'm sure others would be more interested in open discussion. There's very much also the possibility the majority strongly disagrees with your response. That shouldn't dissuade you from continuing a debate.

I don't mind getting downvoted but the fact is that after a certain point people just downvote you and that's the end of it.
And no, it's not unique to this one, this is the way Reddit works and how it is designed to work.

We have different experiences, I don't doubt you for a second. Some communities are hostile by nature. I'm using reddit mostly for critique or DIY.
I'm sure something like sports is a lot more abrasive but that's exactly how it is in real life as well. If you were handed the Mic at Fenway to talk about the Yankees, you would be booed. Then again, there are subreddits dedicated to critique and if we are talking about MLB alone, more than enough alternatives.
If a subreddit or community sucks, forget them. Too many options to be hung up on one space.
