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?
I have already tried doing this a few times, even replacing Reddit with Lemmy, despite knowing what the result would be. It’s a fun exercise until I need to sit and read through the fluff in standard articles.
