Who the heck uses Reddit anyways?
I never quite got what they were about.
Tens of millions more people than have even heard of Free Republic.
I signed up recently. I was chasing an obscure, non-political question and started following links. I've found some discussion groups with people who have the same questions, so it's now part of my situational awareness system. I don't have much of a feel for Reddit yet, but users can set up their own subreddits so the place is full of small interest groups, some of which may be of interest to you if you have the time. There are conservative subreddits. There are also some highly specialized groups that seem to generate seriously geeky discussion from people who clearly know what they are talking about. Finding them can be tricky as you will have to search on the right term.
