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.

Pretty similar for me, but I never did Fark. Funnily enough after digg was sold and relaunched I started using the new digg pretty regularly. It isn't old digg, but it does find and aggregate decent news and entertainment links.

Just add usenet on the front end there.

Yeah, Usenet is what my brain mapped Lemmy to. You get your feed and post through your server. You read posts from others on other servers. Each local server decides what feeds it will carry.

Of course, there’s no central hierarchy for the communities like Usenet had.

Anyone remember a small post-fark forum called bannination?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I sure do! I wrote the initial comment de-htmlizer.

Loved the "Nancy" score.

Slashdot in its heyday was great. Then that sale happened. Somehow I ended up skipping Fark and Digg.
