Not sure if Im more shocked about the title or that ebaumsworld.com still exists. Source: about 1 year ago

To be fair, the "whole internet" was very different in the early 2000s. This was before social media was really a thing, before internet connection was even a thing for many people. A stream like that would have meant that maybe a few dozen or hundred people got to see you and maybe a portion of your clip ended up on ebaumsworld.com. It's not really comparable to videos going viral nowadays. Source: over 1 year ago

He grabbed early memes and Web 1.0 content from all over the Internet and slapped it with an "ebaumsworld.com" watermark. He was one of the only people profiting from the original meme culture, and he was doing it basically by stealing it and declaring it all his own. Source: almost 2 years ago

Ebaums world. I used to visit that place every damn day. Source: over 2 years ago

Not sure were it came from in the first place or how old found it on ebaumsworld.com which is a memes archive some pretty horrid crap on there. Source: almost 3 years ago

Perhaps. I am looking at https://saidit.net/, Quora, and other platforms as well. Source: 12 months ago

What's the criteria you'd need to be met for "something comparable"? Because I'd say running our own https://saidit.net/ site would be pretty identical. Source: about 1 year ago

I love IRC but it serves a slightly different purpose. It isn't threaded and it sacrifices permanency for instantaneousness. In my opinion, a forums and chat rooms compliment each other. Saidit is one good Reddit alternative that implements IRC. It's based on Reddit's code but with some modifications. Every page has an embedded IRC box specific to that subcommunity.

For Reddit alternatives, it looks like https://saidit.net/ (https://github.com/libertysoft3/saidit) and https://phuks.co/ (https://github.com/Phuks-co/throat) could be viable alternatives. They're open source, have the UX features we desire (threaded, voting, sorting, collapsing). Source: about 1 year ago

Someone already did it - it's called saidit and it works well but very few people have gone there so far. Source: about 1 year ago
