Cyks posted:The large tech subreddits are all absolutely useless for anything beyond basic helpdesk questions. I used to post advice for configuring niche home network situations. I have a career worth of professional domain knowledge and it felt nice to use that to help people with their stuff instead of helping megacorps surveil said people. Then one day a few years back I started getting bizarre replies from redditors angrily dogpiling on to screech that I was wrong. They’d confidently explain some nonsense that would sometimes technically accomplish what the OP was asking—but, it was always terrible advice that would create other problems. Usually security problems. For awhile I’d very politely explain why the wrongposters were wrong, provide supporting documentation, and explain to OP why they shouldn’t open their home network 100% to the internet. Then I was downvoted so much that I was essentially banned from providing correct answers. So what I’m saying here is maybe think twice before you +reddit your searches.

The most horrifying part of Reddit to me imo is r/legaladvice. The quality contributors are people who post the most and don’t get contradicted frequently enough to be notable, and a lot of them are cops. I deal with employment law a lot in my state as a union rep. Searched for my state and was in awe at the horrible advice being given. Subreddits like that definitely need to be shut down

That’s not an exaggeration or joke, the people who run it are not lawyers but are police. When you realize that it makes a lot of the terrible advice make more sense.

When you realize that it makes a lot of the terrible advice make more sense. lmao I wouldn't trust reddit for anything serious, though I only used it for resources and tips on semi-niche video games to begin with. I've actually used a ton of the various subforums here to help with problems and decision-making, and more often than not they've steered me in the right direction. SA's various resources may not be as extensive as reddit's, but I certainly trust the people here a hell of a lot more.

All I know is that I started a sid Meier Civilization 1 for MSDOS subreddit back in the day, and it grew a little, and then I got a bunch of angry dms about taking traffic away from the main fan made /civ subreddit. And when I said no I am not going to shutdown civ1 I started to get anonymous very threatening dms about my personal life, including anonymous threats to my personal email and I think also pms here from burner accounts. So like, gently caress all that I shut down civ1 and deleted my stupid vintage 2005 reddit account. I hate the internet and I hate reddit it's evil and dumb and enables internet mod types to actively harass people for... Internet points?
