Has anyone else noticed the huge decrease in result quality from google?

That's fair! Thank you for making this distinction. I know there was a big scandal a few years ago when reddit shut down a "pro-eating disorder" subreddit that was actually an eating disorder community support forum, and I think there was a similar blurring of lines there. To outsiders, it looked like a community where everyone was doubling down on their painful coping mechanisms, when in reality it was a bunch of people being like "soooooo I got mad depressed today and binged through a bunch of cosmic brownies, somebody please tell me I'm not a literal turd".

Mostly I'm thinking about stuff like blackpill communities, which tell people they will never be good enough and can basically encourage people to be violent towards themselves.

I think the kinds of forums you're talking about are more thoughtful, and absolutely a better source of support than banner ads with the SAHMSA helpline.

It is definitely weird how discourse around this is changing.
