Asklemmy

I was a Slashdot -> Digg -> Reddit -> Lemmy (and actually quite a bit of imgur) wanderer.

I did do some local/regional dialup boards before that too.

I was reading /. when they opened up account registration and my friends got 4 digit ids, but I didn't sign up right away and have a 5 digit one. At the time it was of great import. I tried it last year. Still works.

I moved to Reddit from Digg with the great pre v4 exodus.

I used message boards well into the 2010s. Digg and reddit were a curiosity that I mostly lurked.

I remember I got downvoted on Digg for anecdote about how the climate had been changing over the years in my area. The comments in those types of posts were primarily deniers saying there wasn't scientific evidence of climate change.

Learned about digg and started using it only for it to die a few months later. Discovered Reddit back in the 2010s while searching for Bodyweight fitness advice and stayed till the API fiasco.

Digging Lemmy now (☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞

DIGGnation!

I used it a little bit, not extensively. I watched Diggnation with Kevin and Alex though semi-regularly, as I used to watch TechTV prior to that.

Even though I was in the prime age group for Digg, I shockingly never even heard of it until after I became a Reddit user and heard tales of its demise.

StumbleUpon was my main Internet resource during those years. I still miss it.

I was really active Digg user and later HackerNews when it was really about hacking and not startups bs.

I even went to Diggnation Live, here in London.

Digg was amazing till they ruined it. =\

I joined Digg sometime around 2008 when the first videos of those crazy Russians climbing giant cranes first hit the web. I was over the moon with Digg but around 2010 one of my college roommates started yammering about this site Reddit and how much better it was. I don't think I actually visited Reddit until 2011, and even then I lurked for a year before I even made an account and started commenting on things. But the downfall of Digg and rise of Reddit was swift, and back then when Aaron was alive it really was a great site.

Almost never did, to be honest, but I'm sure I missed out on a lot of interesting stuff because of it.

I'm too young for Digg.

I was on digg as well as reddit. I always liked reddit a lot better and was always baffled as to why digg was so much more popular. Reddit always felt more diverse (in topics) and organic (user driven) to me. I guess others had a different view.

Sadly, no one no one seems to remember kuro5hin. Barely even me. It had its moments though.

I wasn't. Before Reddit I was on IRC.

I used to use my Blackberry to read Digg every morning in college while waiting for classes to start. It was great in its heyday, but maybe that's just nostalgia or that I'd not experienced anything quite like it prior.

Yeah it was a huge event, felt like a giant online protest, and from my perspective it was the beginning of the end for Digg, and signaled it's decline.

I'd love to have diggnation back

What is Digg?

Went from arguing about the iraq war on forums, then to 4chan, then to reddit, now im here. The tone and culture of reddit was always better than Digg. The decline was very slow but perceptible. I've always tried to be polite and forthright in my comments but Looking back, i was probably the shitty troll commenter that everyone hated.

I used to think that reading links and comments on reddit was so incredibly important for my development and education.

I still use Digg.

Haven't a clue what Digg and the other one are. I've just found Sync.
