I miss forums. Not that they disappeared completely but that used to be the go-to for good info. Still is maybe, cause I've read through a lot of garbage trying to learn about something pretty simple and then hit a forum post that's like "well it depends if it's early- or late-season blight". What? The twenty garden blog posts I studied never mention such a distinction. But there's Jimmy in Mt Carmel Indiana breaking it down.
One thing that's actually better for all that's worse is the Discord means one login for everything. Back then you had to register to every forum even if you only needed one file and never came back again.
