At this point, I’m not even going to bother trying to go on there anymore.

    Going there for answers reinforces people putting answers there. Ignore the devil, no matter what he whispers.

    Build community outside Hell.

      How does me opening a 4 year old discussion on reddit encourage someone else to ooen a new one there.

      My behavior is the following: I type my research topic into a search engine, and open all related links to that topic until I find useful info. I prioritize non-shit websites (Wikipedia, lemmy, etc) but if I need info I will not willingly ignore a potential source. Unless I am required to log in somewhere, of course.

        Because they’ll know people still append “reddit” to search results.

        If people stop using a place, people will stop using a place.
