Yahoo Answers is shutting down on 4 May 2021 (Eastern Time) and the Yahoo Answers website is now in read-only mode. There will be no changes to other Yahoo properties or services, or your Yahoo account. You can find more information about the Yahoo Answers shutdown and how to download your data on this help page.

So, where do I go after Yahoo Answers shuts down?

I've been hear for years, mostly talking about mental health and politics. I wasn't primarily a troll in politics, but enjoyed it when it gave me or someone else the chance to be witty. Yeah, there were some jerks, but it was often fun to respond to them and pretty easy to ignore them. Plus, Yahoo overall did a really great job moderating the forums. 

Boy, I'll miss this place. It was a place where you could talk to the lowest common denominator as well as be quite iwell-reasoned. Yahoo Answers isn't as snobby as Reddit or Quora. In Yahoo Answers, the Trumpian and the intellectual "elite" really mixed at times, not always well, but well enough. 

This place was a lot fun. 

There's nothing quite like it.

    It's exactly that mixing I'll miss and one of the few reasons I ever stuck around.  The only other place these discussions seem to evolve organically is under random youtube videos, usually something totally unexpected that pulls in a cross section of people.

  • Quora is no good because it's heavily moderated to fit their agenda of what people can say.. You can write something 100% truthful but if it's about their protected people or groups it's deleted and you are banned.. I'm banned because they don't like the truth.. Just quoting statistics from .gov about their protected people will get you deleted.. They only permit plain vanilla agreement..

    There is always Quora. It's a lively, interactive, informative and (mainly) sensible website.

    I will miss it too. 🙋‍♀️😮😪😫Yahoo has done away with all the good programs it used to have way back when...like the cool Avatars that went with their (once upon a time) really great messaging services....I'm referring to the OG messaging service program. The Avatars came with customizable homes, pets, landscaping, and everything under the sun...the Avatars had tons of options for clothing, makeup, hair styles, nothing was limited. 

    I miss all the free perks Yahoo/Verizon and Yahoo stand alone offered. Great music jukebox you customized....

    I love lurking at Reddit, however you have to register and some subreddits you still can't comment until you have enough points...plus it isn't connected to other services like Yahoo USED to offer, nor is it at all what I consider a Question & Answers forum. 

    Here we could check our emails, go to groups, answers, news, games, etc...a one stop site...

    Yahoo slowly but surely has done away with all of their side offerings...

    I didn't even mind that I had lost all of my Answer levels from way back, because I hadn't used this site for a long time, but still I don't like loosing these long time programs/services. SMH. Good luck and hopefully some type of site might try and replace this gap. 

  • Trump says he is coming up with some alternative to leftist cancel culture. He has kept most of his promises in spite of democrats slamming on the breaks.

    Quora is a very BAD place. Far to leftist for even leftists.

    Righties have no voice either.

    Best to just get a real life and find other ways to be entertained.

    Perhaps growing a garden to help the environment and cut your food costs?

    Weeding is very time consuming and lots of fun (sarcasm).

    Find out where your local chapter of the John Birch Society holds its weekly meetings and I’m sure you’ll find a lot of the same people there that you would find on here. You can make new friends.
