yeah - usenet has to be in there, as well as The Register
Technology
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.

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 still visit Slashdot pretty regularly, but I make it a point to avoid the comments section.
I had the same journey but I'm pretty sure I found Slashdot by way of boingboing which I found by way of Diesel Sweeties blog posts when I first got a DSL connection in 2002 and was looking for comics and blogs to fill up my trendy new RSS reader lol
Lame. You weren't even on Usenet in the 90's.

I am old enough to not care what people on the internet think which is why I posted this, I am battle hardened
Slashdot -> kuro5hin -> reddit -> Lemmy for me.
Any old k5ers on here?
Fark eh. I used to have a double digit account number of there. Those were the days.
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.
