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.

Finally more people moving to fediverse
I had the same journey but I'm pretty sure I found Slashdot by way of boingboing which I found by way of Diesel Sweeties blog posts when I first got a DSL connection in 2002 and was looking for comics and blogs to fill up my trendy new RSS reader lol
Slashdot -> kuro5hin -> reddit -> Lemmy for me.
Any old k5ers on here?

Somehow I missed Fark in that transition, but otherwise that was my journey too.
Fark eh. I used to have a double digit account number of there. Those were the days.
Can’t leave out irc.
I'd need to shoehorn the Something Awful forums in there somewhere between Fark and Digg.
x2
Although, TBH, I was farking and SA-ing at the same time. Something Awful in its prime was incredible.
I kind of skipped Fark entirely, but other than that, yeah that was my route here.
