    the one thing im worried about with all these people deleting their reddit content is the loss of so much valuable information such as support fixing a niche tech problem; that was the special content that reddit had that no other place had. With enough time and growth I hope the Fediverse will become greater than reddit ever was

      There are still great avenues to search for niche tech issues other than Reddit. Spiceworks, LTT, Lawrence Systems - I usually have better results there. Reddits tech solutions are usually closer to an ELI5, but the other tech avenues are better for the tech-literate

        We do need the info for the tech-illiterate though. That’s what keeps them off the more literate forums where people are tired of saying “have you tried turning it off and on again”?
