Just a working list - feel free to add to it. I realize that some of these might already exist, and I just missed them. Here's what I've got so far:

  • Book suggestions
  • Obscure Media
  • New England
  • Massachusetts
  • separate communities for every other state too
  • Mildly interesting
  • Antiwork
  • Anti-Amazon
  • buy it for life

My niche hobby and snark communities, like AmericanGirl, FundieSnarkUncensored, DuggarsSnark, and HobbyDrama. I hope to see them resurrected elsewhere with just as good of moderation and communities as they had on Reddit. I know a lot of websites say they don't want drama but a well-moderated drama community is a public service that keeps fights contained.

Sorry, do you mean my username sounds like one from reddit or I spelled the sub wrong? 😅

duggarssnark made up a nickname for someone, the pelicans. i thought you were referencing that since you listed duggarssnark as a sub you'd miss.

Oh, no! I hadn't even heard that one, I just came up with a random name.

I was wondering if someone was going to create a good fundiesnark community and if there would be enough interest here to keep it up.

I lurked more than posted on those communities because I've seen how toxic they can easily become and was turned away by some of the drama or when the snark started focusing on personal characteristics but, having been raised fundamentalist, there were also a lot of really relatable threads where others would share similar experiences (and the snark communities were always much more active than the survivor/former communities).
