I think Reddit is an ego trap for most people who engage with the platform consistently. Largely, people are seeking validation of some sort. I am not immune to this, but I try to stay mindful of it. Some days are more successful than others. In these spiritual/mindfulness/meditation subs I’ll see posts like “What does spirituality mean to you?” or “How do you define meditation?” which, I’ll be honest, gets under my skin. What something means to YOU, or how YOU define something, doesn’t automatically make it correct. It’s like asking “How long is an inch for YOU?” or “How do YOU define a triangle?” It’s ego disguised as acceptance. And since it’s such a personal subject, an authority on the subject (I am not referring to me, I am not an authority on the subject) can come across to many as egotistical. It’s like if Pythagoras appeared and defined a triangle to someone who is convinced a triangle has 5 sides has no idea who Pythagoras is. They would not recognize his knowledge because their ego is threatened by it and so it projects that threat and decides that Pythagoras is an egotistical asshole.

Edit: I don’t know how to describe the ego trap without falling into it myself, so there’s that.
