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

3 years ago by Haunting_Tale_5150 to c/AskKbin

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.

If it’s home-related (or services) I’ve had decent luck with Nextdoor.

Lots of variation in quality for nextdoor. It depends on where you live since they group by neighborhoods. I left nextdoor during the pandemic because it was a never ending stream of rightwing talking points about vaccines and shutdowns.

Alas! Yeah I saw a fair bit of that go by but mostly ignored it; my area is fairly diverse politically so there were people yelling into the void and also people who weren’t. I definitely wouldn’t recommend it for just like, hanging out and chatting with people, but they’ve been pretty good at least where I am about recommendations. Maybe that does vary by how crappy your neighbors are, though.

Where I live nextdoor is a SM shitshow nothing but Whining astroturfing illiterates

If Facebook was
“people you know talking and things you don’t care about”
And Reddit was
“people you don’t know talking about things you care about”
Then nextdoor is
“people you don’t care about talking about crap you don’t care about
