That was a central hub of where I got news, jokes, stayed connected with internet culture. That’s mostly gone now. So many things feel splintered anymore.

Its returned closer to what the internet was BEFORE reddit. People cultivated lists of bookmarks for sites they'd visit for their daily special interests. Lemmy is still a larger audience than what we had before. For jokes you might go to fark.com or somethingawful.com. These were the user driven humor aggregators of the day.

I would love to see someone born into today's internet landscape try to entertain themselves with lowtax's poorly written essays about hentai and his beginner knowledge of ww2 tanks.
