I was a member for promoting my blogs
My history would be: BBSs>various forums>Slashdot>SomethingAwful>Digg>reddit>StumbleUpon>4chan>HackerNews>voat.co>Lemmy
I wasn't a heavy Digg user, but it was fun.
I used digg a fair amount before the v4 revamp
I still use Digg.
I never used Digg at all. Before the Internet consisted almost exclusively of "social media", I was mainly on topic-specific web forums run on software like phpBB and SMF.
Yo
I was using Stumbleupon back in Digg's day
๐
I couldn't speak English at that time, I can't speak now, though. :)
I was on Digg but never much more than a super casual lurker. Like maybe hitting it up at work a few times a month. I was still on USENET most of the time so there wasn't much of a need.
Never used it.
I was most active on Slashdot and Fark back then.
And then I migrated to Reddit.
I was a user of StumbleUpon at one point. I don't think I ever had an account on Digg.
i used it a lot, and actually loved Leo Laporte... but the remake forced it down my throat to the point i was forced to leave.
I miss The Screen Savers and TechTV. Somehow podcasts and streams are not the same. I tried to follow Laporte on TWiT but I eventually gave up. TechTV is probably also how I learned about Digg because Rose worked there for a while.
I did, I was in high school at the time and I had just discovered Firefox. I remember it was a while before it was possible to have nested replies. Before Digg I think I just used StumbleUpon. Good times!
Omg I loved Digg so much. Watched diggnation every single week too, via my softmodded original Xbox with navi x. I was so mad when they sold out lol at the time I had a little tech blog and I was talking so much shit about the buyout that someone from the new team personally messaged me to call me out on my bullshit ๐ it took me forever to figure out reddit when I finally made the switch and I never really felt at home over there. Lemmy feels much better
EDIT: Also, this song will forever live in my heart https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XLLRsn_nr6s
