Well, it's been fun. I'm not 100% sure yet but I think I'm going to use the API shutdown as an opportunity to quit Reddit entirely (definitely leaving if /r/askhistorians has to shutter). There are a few places, like this subreddit, that I still enjoy (to be clear: this is not about this subreddit - thanks to all the mods who make this a good place). But after 14 years Reddit has become too toxic for me.
So, in preparation I'm looking for alternatives to support the few things I'm going to miss. Perhaps I'm naive but maybe spending smaller amounts of time on smaller, more tightly focused sites will be healthier.
I know there's the podcast (assuming it keeps going), but does but does anyone have suggestions for forums or other alternatives to /r/askhistorians?
For watching at least, The Collector has a section called "Answers" that is focused on answering frequently asked historical questions found online. It's not as open source as AH, as there's a more rigorous application to write for them (the trade off being we get paid). There aren't many fields being covered yet, but they're working on expanding that.
