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!)

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.

Somehow, I missed Fark in that transition, but otherwise, that was my journey too.
Anyone remember a small post-fark forum called bannination?
I sure do! I wrote the initial comment de-htmlizer.
Loved the "Nancy" score.
BBS > various forums > /. & Metafilter & fark (no digg), > Reddit & twitter > the fediverse!
Slashdot -> kuro5hin -> reddit -> Lemmy for me.
Any old k5ers on here?
