In the last 3 days I've been paying attention to r/all, expecting several posts about it and...

Yeah

Wasn't expecting the website to literally shut down nor to monopolize r/all, because 3rd party users are the minority, but I hoped for more than whatever this was.

At least there's a silver lining, I discovered new alternatives that have healthier communities

Ah, ye old Bee Bee Esses. Sadly, I missed the boat on that...I was definitely old enough and technically capable, but I didn't know they existed. I hear you though, my first real exposure to the internet was Gopher! You could find all sorts of stuff out there, like in people's shared directories, but more importantly, MUDs! Damn near flunked out of college because of them. Fun times, though! The internet was so much smaller back then.
