As I participate in the boycott today and going forward, the biggest thing I’ve found I’m going to miss is the availability of discussion on topics. Obviously Reddit was never a bastion of truth and fact, but being able to find a discussion on a topic I was researching was always nice. For example today I was looking around for a fightstick / looking to see if one would be worth it for my use case, and Reddit was always the first result. What is everyone else unexpectedly missing from Reddit today?
r/personalFinance was helpful, if not repetitive at times, but there were so many people posting. There was always at least a few decent posts with different opinions. I’m surprised I haven’t come across a replacement here yet.
Mostly this. I habitually add “site:reddit.com” to like anything if all I’m getting is bullshit generic articles. I keep getting forcefully reminded that every sub worth visiting is boycotting today. Hopefully that’ll help me break the habit lol
