My favorite Reddit group:
https://www.reddit.com/r/cubancigars/
Over many years they consistently evaluated (rated and ranked) foreign vendors who would mail to the US and called out anyone that sold fakes.
I am sure there are some other hobbies that have similar excellent groups...but of course for politics they are one big dumpster fire.
I go there for a couple of technical forums that don’t have an equivalent elsewhere. Politically the place is, indeed, a dumpster fire.
