The best part about Reddit is the open nature of the community such that whatever topic or subject matter you might think of has some sort of dedicated subreddit wherein users can come together to discuss whatever it is with whoever else finds the subject of interest. In this way, Reddit is sort of like Wikipedia and Facebook combined since any user can start a thread and make comments.

The fact my account is shodowbanned within 2 minutes?

I like that it is easy to find any community on reddit with the search function. The communities are moderated by real people who are community members and care about the topic being discussed. I can find the answer to almost any question and read about things I am interested in on Reddit.
