    Slashdot -> Digg -> Reddit -> Lemmy. Back then, web servers didn’t have a lot of resources. So if a Digg post was popular, it could slow the site to a crawl. Then we all knew the site was being “Digged”.

      I still have my slashdot account but don’t use it much other than niche interest stuff. But otherwise same path for me.
