I don't think reddit has had any negative impact on my ability to hold reasonable discussions. We have to admit that there are some aspects of reddit that are useful, e.g. specialized and dedicated subreddits (subreddits dedicated to a specific musician, for example, are very useful). Larger populations have always been a problem on the internet w.r.t discussion quality, but smaller subreddits are great for finding a (usually) chill and focused group of people. The drawback is that specialization itself, however. If you already know what you're looking for there's a subreddit for it, but exploring new ideas and discovering new interests is harder. I've never had any luck with the random subreddit option.
