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.

I went back to Fark for a bit, it's surprisingly unchanged. That's good and bad, it's so linear and most of the comments are snarky/clever but maybe not particularly insightful. Reddit had a nice mix, a lot of funny predictable answers "And my axe!" but then also expert posters that would write 2 intelligent pages on a subject.

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.
Somehow I missed Fark in that transition, but otherwise that was my journey too.
Slashdot in its heyday was great. Then that sale happened. Somehow I ended up skipping Fark and Digg.

That's funny because I've seen some people on Reddit say they're going to use Fark instead after the controversy. I guess old sites just don't die.

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