Slashdot -> Digg -> Reddit -> Lemmy. I used to spend lot of time on TheEnvironmentSite.org some time before Slashdot, but I cant recall whether anything else came in between those two.
I think StumbleUpon was between Slashdot and Digg. But my timeline may be off.
I went from StumbleUpon to Digg to Reddit and now here โฆ
I skipped Digg. It seems like it was a primarily American thing, right? Anyways, I went 4chan -> stumbledupon -> 9gag -> reddit -> lemmy
Similar, but I was scared off of the toxic dumps like 4chan early on so really just started with StumbleUpon -> reddit -> lemmy.
Wow I completely forgot about out StumbleUpom, I used to use that allot.
Me too, but Iโd put Usenet in there before Slashdot.
Not AOL Keywords between those two?
That was me, but I also had Facebook between Digg and Reddit.
Anyone remember Fark?
I never found slashdot, and I wish I had. Iโm a LUE to Gen[M]ay to YTMND to /b/ to Digg to Reddit to here person-thing.
