timppu: What is the benefit compared to this forum? Political discussions allowed?
I've never really used "reddit", I presume it is some kind of large discussion forum on several subjects? How does it differ from all the other discussion forums? Why is there that "/r/" always in the URL? That makes it seem geeky, a bit like IRC which I've never really used either.
... and why do people call it "social media"? I've never really used "reddit", I presume it is some kind of large discussion forum on several subjects?

I've only encountered it a few times while looking for answers on technical problems. And it looks like some kind of forum to me; I don't see the comparison to Facebook, Instagram, etc...
