In the last 3 days I've been paying attention to r/all, expecting several posts about it and...

Yeah

Wasn't expecting the website to literally shut down nor to monopolize r/all, because 3rd party users are the minority, but I hoped for more than whatever this was.

At least there's a silver lining, I discovered new alternatives that have healthier communities

Even Digg is still around. But I think most people agree that it is "dead." Reddit will probably end up the same.

@Hypx same with Tumblr. It exists, but the core reason I used it is now gone and so are many of its members.

Hell, even MySpace is still around.

It did go away for awhile, though, and it took several attempted restarts before finally sticking on something that gained enough traction to (I assume) pay for itself.
