> Where is the public open chats of cyber space? It used to be every tech-savvy person had their own PhpBB instance and built small communities with that. All that has largely migrated to Discord, Reddit, Facebook Groups, and to a lesser extent: Lemmy & Mastodon. There's also quite niche and bespoke communities like Subreply[0], Tildes[1], and Raddle[2] (Built with Postmill). I prefer the Reddit style Karma system... - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

I would check out https://raddle.me and https://beehaw.org. Both seem to be positive and cozy spaces. They might not have all the relevant communities but it's a good start. Source: 11 months ago

I've seen some other alternatives such as raddle where independent users are trying to recreate the Reddit experience with a new platform (yet it doesn't seem to use the same Karma System, make of that what you will) but I'm still curious to see where everyone is going if large parts of Reddit disappear after July 1st...

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: over 1 year 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
