It's a good habit. I wish most people had that mindset, usually they just hit send and launch their nonsensical tirade. It's a good way to get your thoughts out of your head without actually putting them online. I use to do it all the time in r/news even though I was shadowbanned because I refused to link an email to my account. It is kind of cathartic.

Honestly I think Reddit helped me recognize my own ignorance about most things. Well, more specifically, other people on Reddit who found various ways of pointing out that I didn't really know what I was talking about... I'm much less likely to post a comment than I used to be.

Reddit was great for that, I loved that aspect. I actually really enjoy when I have what I think is the most accurate opinion and then someone just comes around and is a niche Subject Matter Expert and slamdunks on me. It causes me to go down a rabbit hole and learn a lot of new stuff.
