No. This place is full of people with many different ideas, feelings, thoughts, and opinions. Reddit is a hive-mind of jerks.
You must be in parts of Reddit I never visit. I browse Apple Music, Apple, and a few tech areas of Reddit and I find there are many interesting and informative comments from seemingly intelligent non-jerks.
If you stay in specific subreddits instead of the main page, you’ll generally be okay.
The Apple subreddit is generally a lot more positive than Macrumours, so I don't see how anyone can ever confuse the two.
I'm abstaining right now (for various reasons (more for others, than because of u/spaz)).
I could no more confuse MR and Reddit than I could Union Station and Grand Central

Reddit is a waste of time. You're better off reading A-Z of the Encyclopedia.
Centralised forums aren't ideal. Some people love the idea. For me on Reddit, as soon as you say something someone doesn't like, the instinct to go hunting for a witty personal attack comes to their mind.. they go through your profile find that you like, oh I don't know, gardening? Next thing they're telling you to 'take the pot off your head' or something like that.
Dedicated forums have been best, alright so MR has poor moderation but Reddit definitely has worse. Car forums, tech forums, bike forum, food forum etc, are all full of people really passionate about their hobbies etc. I never could take to Reddit.
