Well, yeah, wade in a cesspool and you'll get shit on you. I censor myself 
when reading the local subreddit. Many of the posts are looking for the 
best dope (marijuana is legal in this state) or LGBQTZXOS+ types looking 
for queer bars. The SNR sucks but there is the occasional useful thread.

All others are tech groups from r/adafruit to r/xfce. The exceptions are 
r/banjo and r/amazfit.  Amazfit is a manufacturer of fitness watches. The 
only time I triggered someone was saying the new Agama installer for SUSE 
needs some work. When the dust settled more people agreed than not.
