Often times when duckduckgoing (is that the right term for that) advice for products, I use the !ddgr key to directly search reddit for advice. But in a post-blackout world, I need to do this a lot less. So I want to know what the best places are to get reviews and advice for products that are human and not top 10 listicals.
Where I live nextdoor is a SM shitshow nothing but Whining astroturfing illiterates
If Facebook was

Time to move on. There is no drop in replacement for Reddit and there never will be, IMO, and whatever springs up will have many rough edges for a good long time.

Best places to get human reviews/recommendations outside of reddit?
