Use forums. They aren't locked down. For example, post on https://discuss.privacyguides.net, instead of reddit[.]com/r/privacy.

If you can find them, these forums often have much better content with less censorship and less slop.

The problem seems to me that search engines love Reddit threads more than anything else. And they often are the most useful content that a search engine brings up. Not sure what to do about that.
