Yeah I'm here because reddit's programming community became unusable in the late 2010s but especially over the last few years. For example, I'd see a post about CockroachDB and every single reddit comment would be some low effort joke making fun of the name. Meanwhile I'd come here and the creator would be in the comments answering questions. When reddit changed their default sort away from upvotes and towards engagement metrics in 2021, most of the useful places there sort of withered away.
