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.

      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)
