The reddit enhancement suite for chrome or Firefox makes reddit extremely useable.

Does that allow me to make replies to top comments collapsible?

The biggest active user website there is thats in the top 30 in global internet traffic.Reddit hardly has any ads. They're mad because reddit is suppose to be a libertarian platform but they've been steadily banning sub forums that wont agree with potential sponsors.
TLDR
Reddit gonna make some bank
just went do a little research on what's happening and this is awesome. I support the revolution. Ellen Pao must be destroyed

for those that don't understand reddit.

Reddit is a message board wherein users submit links. What differentiates it from a real-time information network like Twitter is that the stream of content is curated by the community. Items of value are “upvoted,” and those deemed unworthy are "downvoted." This determines a post's position on the site, and items that hit the front page are seen by hundreds of thousands of people (consequently, sending boatloads of traffic to the linked website).

The Reddit homepage consists of content submitted to the site's most popular channels, or "subreddits" — Pics, Technology, WorldNews, Music, Gaming, etc. New users (and visitors who are not logged in) are automatically subscribed to these top channels.

As you discover more niche communities, you can subscribe to those subreddits, which will push popular posts from those channels to your homepage. You can always browse those individual subreddits directly, of course.

So for me,

I subscribe to subreddits that interest me: NBA, NFL, CFB, MLB, politicaldiscussion, etc.

As a member you can subscribe to any subreddit and customize the content you want to see.

As for today, one of the more popular subreddits fatpeoplehate got banned today and people are losing their minds over it. Reddit is VERY pro-speech so as one can see, it isn't going well.

So from what I'm seeing, it looks like r/fatpeoplehate was banned for going outside of their subreddit to make fun of people, or something along those lines. Either way, seems like it'd just be easier to ban the posters rather than the whole subreddit.

Where am I going to go to learn the latest derogatory terms for fat people like ham planet and butter-chugger?

fat people should be made fun of. fat shamers are just looking out for them. they are pushing them to become healthier. they should be rewarded not banned
