   Reddit is as varied as Usenet used to be, but most of the groups I   
   have hung around in are moderated. I am sure there are sub-reddits   
   that are made up wholly of the insane, just as there are with most   
   other online forums.   
      
   I have limited my Reddit habits to the sciences or a few TV series   
   that I really like, but I just unsubscribe really fast if a place   
   seems too wonky.   
      
   Most Usenet groups, of course,  have melted away or degenerated into   
   full blown insanity and my aversion to Facebook has kept me protected   
   from those groups.   
      
   I do miss the old Usenet groups, though, especially this one.
