The tags are much better than the subreddits. You can't sit on a tag and create a unified culture around it like you can a sub. If you make a The_Donald tag, you can't ban liberals from using it, and thus anyone on that tag will see all kinds of things. If you're on Reddit you moderate that sub, anything you don't like can be filtered away from the audience thus pushing radicalization. Reddit has that structure problem -- it's designed ground up to facilitate factions and filter bubbles where you can spend your time reading only things you agree with and nothing else.
