listen reddit is a cesspool of toxic bullshit, yes, BUT
if you take a few minutes to make a clean account, unsub from all the defaults, and then join only cute animal subs, you can make yourself a lovely little place of peace and serotonin with an endless feed of IllegallySmolCats or RarePuppers or DivorcedBirds or whatever specific adorableness you like most
and unlike following tags on Tiktok or Insta or whatever, these subs are moderated, so you get way less bots and reposts and sponsored ads!
I have done this (and I also added some mild humor stuff like PunPatrol) and it's really nice to open when the rest of the internet is exploding because someone poured some more gas on the worldwide dumpster fire.
Say hi to my new family dog Pip! Comes home tomorrow. 2yr old Jack Russell.
My dad doesn't like to admit it, but he loves Jack Russell terriers. It's been a year since our last dog passed away and every time he's seen one he's engaged with the owner. From a man that doesn't like to bother people, this was his exception.
