The amount of stuff I learned is a large part of why I didn't consider reddit to be social media. I was primarily a lurker. I would post if I needed info, and I would comment if I had info to share.
I learned about modding games, pregnancy, personal finance, breastfeeding, sourdough baking, painting, slime molds.....etc.
I left when reddit is fun went dark, and it hurt to lose a resource that I had used to navigate through a third if my life.
Yes! Lol, now I need to do a rewatch.
