  No but this time will be different I’m sure!! I’m sure they’ve learned their lessons from their past mistakes. Trust me on this… I’m a dolphin

    Mistakes may happen, but I’m sure they won’t do any evil shit on porpoise.

  I specifically remember the exodus from DIGG as the start of reddit sucking.

    When was that? Based on life events I’ve reconstructed this timeline of my hangout sites

    • late 1990s to mid 2000s was slahdot
    • around 2006ish digg came into my life and was great for a some years. At least for memes and generic dopamining on funny pictures. I think I hung around until about 2014 or so, while spicing it up with cracked.com
    • 2014ish 9GAG started having more of my type of content. After a few years 9GAG became just automated reposts of r/funny, and talking about that got you censored. Kinda like what reddit is doing now.
    • 2017ish I switched to reddit, when 9GAG just became too embarrassingly bad.
    • july 21st 2023 I started trying to figure out lemmy. BTW u/spez is a pedophile piss baby.

    Maybe I was just trailing behind you others. Was I the one to ruin your experience? Why would you accuse me of that you insensitive clod? Anyway, in that case I’ll go eat crayons in the corner and shitpost on .ml

      Interesting, I had my 9GAG phase around 2011-12. Never really used Digg, just saw the front page a couple times, then started dabbling in Reddit in 2015, then Lemmy in 2023 with the blackout protests. (I almost said those achieved nothing, but I think that’s probably when most current Lemmy users joined, so 🤷)

  What, Digg was before Reddit? Thought Reddit was the OG forum of the global internet.

    Before Reddit and everything was forum sites. I use many of them today.

    Digg based the voting off of a simplified version of Slashdot’s. Except they let everyone vote. Reddit then took that concept and added user generated categories and user moderating.
