Reddit changes the rules to make sitewide protests much more difficult. Moderators will now have to get admin approval when switching a subreddit from public to private or when adding a NSFW tag.
dunno, for 16 months now, the only time I went there was after a google search and the answer was in a reddit thread… There is 15+ years of answers to various obscur topics and all, “unfortunately”
They’re starting to get stale though. Sometimes yes, there will be a 15+ years old thread that’s still relevant, but there will also be so many cases that the latest post is 2+ years old and no longer applicable or outdated.
And the newer threads (from the last 1-2 years) often just aren’t that helpful. Lots of people who don’t know what they’re talking about, or comment just to say they have the same problem.
I can usually get a helpful answer by trying a couple search engines or just fighting with Google, but it takes longer than it should sometimes.
I wonder how it’s going for Reddit? I expect they are still huge.

The biggest problem they have I think is that it’s all bots, everywhere
It’s surely beyond 50% at this point.
