The content is also different. Reddit uses AI agents to populate feeds to generate user engagement.

The lack of subreddits is a big difference because it inhibits users coagulating into subgroups. Reddit also allows people to be banned from subreddits by subreddit owners/mods which leads to groupthink more.
