Where does somethingawful fit in
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.

I kind of skipped Fark entirely, but other than that, yeah that was my route here.
Fark eh. I used to have a double digit account number of there. Those were the days.
Slashdot -> kuro5hin -> reddit -> Lemmy for me.
Any old k5ers on here?
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.
Such is life, nothing lasts forever. I could think of a good song for this, but nothing comes to mind yet as Im enjoying watching that Twitch counter of closed subreddits counting up nonstop.
I'd need to shoehorn the Something Awful forums in there somewhere between Fark and Digg.

Although, TBH, I was farking and SA-ing at the same time. Something Awful in its prime was incredible.
