I plan to stop using Reddit for social media. But I also add “reddit” to a lot of my searches, using Reddit posts for “Buy it for Life” products and obscure knowledge among other things, and I don’t want that to do away. So I’m glad ArchiveTeam managed to archive almost all of them. I also use Reddit for tech updates and discussions from subreddits like r/rust and r/ProgrammingLanguages, but most of these already have alternative sites (e.g. discourse, Discord, SE), and I’m more hopeful most of the new posts migrate to one of these than other subreddits or Reddit migrating in general.

> but most of these already have alternative sites (e.g. discourse, Discord, SE) I've seen Discord used as a platform for project-based discussion, and I just can't get into it. It just seems so fundamentally not built for long-term threads and the aggregation of information (like a wiki, for instance), and it kind of frustrates me to see some projects that are hell-bent on keeping all related discussion on Discord. Granted, Reddit is not the greatest place for what I'm talking about either, since it also prioritizes newer self-posts/links, but I feel the clunkyness is even worse in Discord.

  Same, I really don't like Discord. It probably doesn't help that I only use it when I have to but it makes me feel tired trying to find specific information even in smaller Discord groups, and even when I know for sure it's there.
