    Oh wow, forgot about Slashdot…

    Fark, Slashdot, and BoingBoing were pretty much my daily go-to in the pre-Digg/reddit internet

      I skipped the Digg era. I didn’t join reddit until probably 2015, after I kept coming across extremely useful information there that wasn’t available elsewhere. I think it was the advice on what to do with asbestos that finally tipped it over for me.

        I was an early reddit adopter. I preferred its hyper minimalist style, as well as the type of conversations I saw, to Digg at the time. Well before the whole Digg 2.0 debacle.
