Honestly, I've been saying I'll still be on reddit for the sysadmin sub for work, at least as long as old.reddit.com exists cause I'm at a PC when I'm working. But I looked at the sub today and realized - like with /r/news ... there's way less posts and content than there used to be.
And what is posted there is low interest. Also, IDK if I've "leveled up" (like 7 years ago TBH), but my problems I'd be pushed to post about usually fly completely over the heads of most other posters on that sub. So it's not even valuable to me in solving problems unless I happen to hit on like 3 other posters who are actually as or more experienced as I am. Otherwise I get silence or "generic responses" I already know that isn't actually helpful.
So... I'm starting to think I won't miss much from that sub either. And I already had other time wasters.
I hope we get some more users on here, and people who are higher skilled (is the fediverse a "you must be this techie to ask questions filter?).
Used to love that sub but the top posts too often are people bitching about work or non-technical discussions. Rarely read anything there anymore.
Don’t forget to flair your post!
Yeah. Some of that is okay, we all have valid frustrations. But it went too far and I really missed seeing more news and technical discussions.
