Lots of venture capital money behind it. I wonder how quickly the enshitification will begin.

    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
