No worries I too miss AskHistorians. Reddit could have been more.

literally the modern burning of the library of alexandria is going on and no one* is talking about it

*ok probably not no one im just being overdramatic

Probably, but we don't mind. Most of us are refugees watching the burning, and mourning what could have been.

there’s just so much value to historians being accessible to the public. there’s a reason universities pay them tenure despite not bringing immediate material benefit to the local community or economy, and reddit seemingly magically allowed for a forum that was even more open and accessible than a university.

and now that’s being fucked over by IPOs and LLMs.
