I’m seeking a website where I can ask any programming or tech-related questions without the risk of it being closed. The platform should allow linking of similar problems for better organization. Previously, I found HeapOverflow to be useful, but unfortunately, it is no longer available. Another platform I tried was Wotas.net (Wisdom of the Ancient Souls Q&A Tech Website), but it didn’t last long either. These platforms were not very active, often leading me to post solutions to my own questions. Despite this, I prefer them over websites with an army of moderators trying to find any excuse to close your post. My preference leans away from platforms like StackOverflow or Codidact, which focus mainly on bug-related questions. When dealing with troubleshooting bugs involving Minimal Reproducible Examples and error logs, I find seeking help from an LLM more beneficial than those kinds of websites anyways, due to their clear and concise responses.

Hate to say this, but Reddit is one option.

reddit has been pretty much the only reliable option that isn’t stackoverflow, in my experience
