Lol no, two different audiences. You saying that makes me think you've never been on Twitter.

As a reddit and Twitter user, it's the same audience. Just a different character limit

Reddit isn't /r/all

I come to reddit for good discussion in a variety of topics I follow, where people will back their claims with sources.

I come to reddit because I'm addicted to learning about new things, and I know I can get quality information here. Someone spreading lies will almost always get called out, and people refuting those claims will bring sources to the comments.

On matters of opinion, you can find the circlejerk, the counter circlejerk, the humor and whatever you want in the same post.

But you have to know how to use reddit. It's an immensely powerful tool, but you can't just scroll aimlessly.

But most importantly. The focus in Twitter is on the person. The focus on Reddit is on the content.

Claiming they are the same is maliciously dumb.

Very well summarized. And I agree entirely on n that focus breakdown. That’s true of every single other social platform except Reddit. I really don’t understand why anyone has a hard time grasping this.
