- worrycue 3y agoI remember it being a thing before Digg too. I visited it less after Digg got popular.
- guerrilla 3y agoOh yeah, Slashdot is from 1997. Digg was an infant in 2004.
- squarefoot 3y agoSlashdot was rocking in the late 90s when Digg didn't even exist. I started reading it when it was published by Rob Malda as his personal blog on his own server in his own dorm room. Along with Usenet, webrings, blogs, the original BoingBoing and the Illiad strips at userfriendly.org (dead, search for archived pages on archive.org) it is among the places of yesterday's Internet that I miss the most.
- guerrilla 3y agoYou must have misread what I said; That it was around long before Digg is not mutually exclusive with that it was around long after Digg.
