In honor of the death of Reddit (I hope), let’s harken back to a simpler time, perhaps when we old-timers were migrating from BBS chatting to Slashdot to Reddit. My favorite “oldie” is “The Website Is Down,” from 2009-ish. It perfectly captures what IT support is like.

What’s your fave?

    StumbleUpon is what actually brought me to Reddit when Cracked started to decline in their articles, and probably the same story for a lot of us between 30-40 that are in exodus from Reddit currently.

    I actually tried to get away from Reddit probably 6 or more years ago to this federated thing but couldn’t get into it then - but now with Apollo going away and the CEOs opinion made clear how users like me are viewed, even if they reverted their API pricing I won’t be back.

    This is the style of community I’d like to be a part of.

    And don’t forget about Group X or the insane number of stick figure fighting flash videos. Shfifty-five.
