Back in 2006/2007 I was reading Slashdot for tech news and stuff. I started noticing that a lot of newer content was just linking to Reddit posts, so I figured I’d cut out the middleman and jumped ship to Reddit.

Online game companies started heavily censoring their own forums. Migrated to Reddit to discuss games with honesty and without fear of retaliation.

That was a gazillion years ago. Probably some fandom thing? Seems likely.

A YouTuber I liked created a subreddit for his viewers to post content related to him, so I created a Reddit account to comment on those posts.

I was a Slashdot user.

People kept hyping Digg as a Slashdot replacement, but trying to submit posts was actually even more futile in practice than trying to submit articles to Slashdot editors. So much bigger hivemind too. Boring unfunny comment section.

When I first joined Reddit, it seemed like it was mostly populated by Slashdot refugees. Just people posting awesome shit. Great riveting discussions, even before anyone actually read the articles. That sort of stuff.

then the shareholders spied it… and that was that…

how’s fark these days? still got a not see problem?

I was a fairly new user. It was mostly because it was a popular platform so sometime during the quarantine I just started exploring it.

It was christmas eve, I was stuck with family and with only a phone, Reddit had some things to read, that was basically it.
