I've already left, but seeing them marching towards an IPO makes me even happier with my decision. I just fear that the mountains of helpful troubleshooting and advice on Reddit will be locked away forever soon, while the rest of the web falls to SEO and AI-generated nonsense text...

Reddit Was the only site Google could effectively search. Rip googling questions and adding reddit.

Man, and it works great. It is waaaaay more common to find good answers to a question from a bunch of randoms on the Internet than trying to get an actual answer from a random website. Sometimes you find bs but you can usually quite quickly filter it out, and it gives a good basis from which to then continue to search on the topic.

I hate that Reddit is so good for answering questions. The alternatives are usually AI written unhelpful trash.

It was speedier and usually more effective than forums which crept at a snails pace.

I'm trying out Kagi a little bit, and it has a federation search mode of some kind. I tried it for a search and it gave me results from Lemmy.

I don't know yet how Kagi compares to Google in terms of results quality, I barely used it so far. It's pretty expensive though.

Oh yeah that's true, I should try it as I use it as my main search engine nowadays.
