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.

Had almost the same journey, except I've never heard of fark before.

I hope so, but I'm not a believer yet.

As someone who grew up speaking German: GiMiX => XiMiG => Heise forums and ALL of the IRC => Reddit => Lemmy

I skipped Fark, but my progression is largely the same. Once in a blue moon, I still visit Slashdot. It's like checking up on an ex to see how they're doing.

Memepool -> Slashdot -> Fark -> Digg -> Reddit -> Lemmy

Put BBS discussion boards, FidoNet groups, and Usenet out front and drop Fark for my path. Along with a variety of standalone forums and random stuff that never went anywhere, of course :) (yes, I'm old!)

Fark, now that's a deep cut.
