watching reddit go into a full death spiral is like watching the specifically trans equivalent of the library of alexandria go up in flames
like yes reddit is also the only place on the internet you can get an actual answer to any question in general. but it’s also a huge centralized community database about which surgeons will fuck you over, who takes what insurance, which doctors you can trust, how to write a template therapist’s letter, insurance appeals, peer support, questions that feel too stupid to ask anywhere else, diy guidelines, “hey this is embarrassing but,” finding trans people in your area, explaining why you need PTO without getting way too personal about it, safety tips, et cetera you get the picture
Someone on trans Reddit just bought the url transgender.org and have put out a call for folks to help turn it into a replacement (and more). Here's a link on r/ftm but it's open to everyone
Tooting my horn a bit here as I worked on it, and it’s obv information from one place and perspective not a community message board, but if you haven’t visited TransHub, it’s full of great and verified information and is run by a NFP in Australia so is likely to stay up despite what’s going on overseas. Also like 95% of the information is non-location specific, so despite it being written in Australia it’s super valuable no matter where you are.
Also, don't forget to upload links to web.archive.org
