For me it feels like breaking up with someone after many years. At the same time, I feel a bit dirty mentioning the name in the post title.

I think this is honestly the biggest issue. Web search has been garbage for years, with legit the only saving grace being Reddit users sharing their knowledge. This is gonna have a horrible effect on producing good search results.
Totally agree. I feel like this is the equivalent, to some degree, of Stack Overflow just suddenly going away. The history needs to be preserved, somehow.
People have been joking lately about productivity suddenly increasing as a result of the Reddit blackout, but honestly? That loss of information is probably going to result in a loss of productivity in some cases.
Because yeah, in the nightmare scenario where both Reddit and Stack Overflow were to disappear, a lot of programmers would be at a complete loss.
Is there anything in the Fediverse that is like a Stack Overflow clone? Might be time to start working on the backup plan for those big websites that do not show a sign of going away yet to avoid the rush when they inevitably do.
It’s valuable knowledge with how-to’s that made me create an account there. I learned plentiful with the people that cared to share.
Most i implemented into my daily life & conditions have become favorable for me.
It’s unfortunate that Reddit Company have refused to collaborate with its users, since years back. Otherwise we would have seen their web & mobile app develop/ innovate in great ways. But they have chosen one limitation after the other. Slowly over the years.
