Same but different. The site sold out and made some changes that were good for investors, but bad for users. It also happened to slashdot. When that went bad, we all went to digg.

Looking back, I'm surprised reddit lasted as long as it did. Digg and slashdot still exist, but aren't what they were in their heyday. I'm sure reddit will continue in some form.

Wild time. Remember that brief offshoot to voat?

I'll be darned, looks like voat shut down a few years ago.

Honestly, good riddance. That place was a cestering fesspool.

It was quite toxic, indeed. I think that's what sent people who tried it back to reddit.
