I feel like old af now that I’ve watched two huge sites implode due to mismanagement. I was a Digg refuge way back, and now here I am on lemmy…
I remember the day that Slashdot sold out.
What happened to Slashdot? There wasn't really one particular event that made me stop using that site, I just sort of drifted away. Was there an "enshittification" moment there, too?
1999, Malda & Bates sold it to Andover.net. It didn't become terrible, but there was a sense that it went corporate. It's been sold and resold since then.
I guess I mostly used it after the sale, then. I started in 1998 or 1999 (when the hype for The Phantom Menace was building up) and used it until the early 2010s.
