A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Just remember to put in Netscape's address bar /. and pressed enter.
Had almost the same journey, except I've never heard of fark before.
As someone who grew up speaking German: GiMiX => XiMiG => Heise forums and ALL of the IRC => Reddit => Lemmy
I went back to Fark for a bit, it's surprisingly unchanged. That's good and bad, it's so linear and most of the comments are snarky/clever but maybe not particularly insightful. Reddit had a nice mix, a lot of funny predictable answers "And my axe!" but then also expert posters that would write 2 intelligent pages on a subject.

Do you think this is the end of your "journey"?
I skipped Fark but after Reddit I spent a lot of time on the greater Fediverse before Lemmy got critical mass.
Are you following me?
Slashdot in its heyday was great. Then that sale happened. Somehow I ended up skipping Fark and Digg.
