Unfortunately there’s still a ton of content and resources which are only on Reddit. Personally I don’t avoid reddit if I am troubleshooting and find a conversation which could be helpful. As long as I am browsing with uBlock Origin, not logged in, and not contributing to the conversation, I feel Reddit gains very little from my visit.
All they care about is getting ad revenue from you and scraping your comments / posts to train their AI. So if you’re giving them neither, then yeah, being on Reddit is aight, imo. Like you I only go there anymore for answers to questions I can’t find anywhere else.

Maybe if you find a helpful post, repost on Lemmy so that more traffic ends here?
