The sheer coverage of every subject on Reddit is crazy. Yesterday I was getting infuriated at a stupid plot in the 3 Body Problem, so I ddged it, and of course I found 3 Reddit threads sharing my frustrations. What a shame it has to get enshitified.

Upvoted because "ddged". Wonderful. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Good alternative search engine, have to use a bit of traditional search engineering sometimes, but to me that's a good thing, feature not a bug.

It can't find everything, think of it as an extra tool in the toolbox. Having selection between search engines is a good thing. Don't want just one monolithic source of information.

It helps that Reddit along with other big platforms like FB absorbed all the traffic that in the old days would have been distributed into small separate forums. Not good for the ecosystem.

Internet ecosystem is a great term, it was put well in an article someone shared on slrpnk: https://slrpnk.net/post/8711732
