Still on Fark, fam
Newgroups on AOL>Too Many to List
Can’t leave out irc.
I hope so, but I'm not a believer yet.
BBS>FidoNet>Newsgroups>AOL>Slashdot>Reddit>Fediverse
Put BBS discussion boards, FidoNet groups, and Usenet out front and drop Fark for my path. Along with a variety of standalone forums and random stuff that never went anywhere, of course :) (yes, I'm old!)

Somehow I missed Fark in that transition, but otherwise that was my journey too.
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.

Basically the main thing I'm looking for in my replacement tbh.
