Many such cases.

Discord has taken the place of old phpbb forums that would ban and lock threads for anyone having the gall to ask a question.

      one time i made a post asking for basic advice, saw i got 6 comments, opened it, and the top comment was just someone making a corny one liner, with all the other comments piggybacking off said one liner trying to be even cornier

            Also unless there’s been a major update, the reddit search bar is notoriously shit. It’s better just to use google and append “reddit”, even with how shit google’s gotten in recent years.

              yea i only use reddit’s search as a backup when i don’t find the right thing on google. (far as ik google’s better at sorting relevant results but reddit has some posts google won’t)
