Is anyone else beginning to mourn reddit?
(lemmy.ml)
Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

Slashdot isn't really dead though is it? Still very active, just, not as popular perhaps.
A simulacra shambles on.
Sure enough, it is, and my mourning for "imagine a beowulf cluster of..." memes was premature! I was more following along with @Hexorg's statement of how he consumed news before Reddit.
Slashdot is not only still alive, but it's not even bad.
It's not what it used to be, though. Back in the CmdrTaco days, when it was the place to go for Linux news, it felt like it was part of a movement. Now it's just kind of...there...hanging on. Not bad, just not exciting.
It's cool to go into the Slashdot comments these days and still see some 3-digit (and sometimes even 2-digit) UIDs posting after all these years.
