I was on Reddit to talk about Math, programming, books, etc. There are several subreddits from which I was helped. And I helped a lot of other people, too.
Quora had a refined userbase. I liked it there. Got ~30mn views on my answers.
In these places, I didn't have to dumb myself down and could be myself.
There are properly moderated FB groups in which I have made connections, and have a community.
On Discord, I am in so many valuable communities- where I can discuss things I like- be a part of something.
And I depend on YouTube for learning things about programming, deep learning, etc.
So, internet is worthless if you watch cat memes. But for me and millions others, it is a lifeline.
And it saddens me very much to see how deeply I depend on these.
