What I am worried is that a lot of the "cool stuff" is disappearing from the web. I remember back in the day (late 90's) we had CrackStore, Phrack, Fravia, DeCSS, the box.sk domains a vibrant reverse-eng. community and a lot of really cool content.
Nowadays with the USA policing a lot of that content has disappeared, and slowly people are pushed not to do new content. There are some very small efforts in some subreddits, but a lot of this is pushed to the underground, where it is difficult to find.
- thevardanian 7y agoIn fact are there any other good gathering places than some obscure subreddits?
- sterlind 7y agoDiscord? I've had good luck with chat rooms these days.
- Sabinus 7y agoCan anyone recommend any good obscure subreddits? I have trouble finding new content.
- thevardanian 7y agoIt depends on what you're interested in. There's virtually one for any topic.
- Applejinx 7y agoSubreddits are weird. Because of how Reddit works, it's awful easy for the place to be governed by state actors and various coordinated brigades. So you can be there, sure, but if you're in the wrong place with information someone doesn't want seen, it won't do you a lot of good as you'll get the "oh look, 25 downvotes in a matter of seconds, someone's on point today" effect. It's REAL easy to police Reddit and enforce your agenda if you're organized and have teams of bots or sockpuppets.
