  I cannot remember which 'comedy duo' that was on the sHitFM drivetime show it was but I could 100% predict what whacky doo bit of news from around the world they were going to bring up. Everyday.

• r/MTB will be going dark June 12th. Here's why, and how you can help. Mod Post

  I was on fark.com before reddit : ) But it's not nearly the same. I'm assuming this whole thing is setting up for the IPO, which is why they won't back down. I have a feeling they knew there would be a revolt and have plans to handle it. And ya, I 100% agree they will force subs to reopen with or without moderation. Will be interesting to see what happens to like /r/videos going down indefinitely. I think... Source: about 3 years ago

• /r/CollegeBasketball will be going dark starting June 12th to protest Reddit's API changes that will effectively kill third-party apps

  Something will come along. When I was ~14-15, it was fark.com, then digg, then reddit. There hasn't been a major competitor for reddit - yet. I started using reddit in mid 2008 (my earliest account is from 2011, towards the beginning of its "golden era" imo), and around 2014/15 it began to lose its "small site charm", and since then its been a steady (and increasing in pace) decline. I figure when it goes... Source: about 3 years ago

  Most of the alternatives I’ve seen are tiny and/or overrun by far-right users. The only site that seems remotely workable to me is http://fark.com and even that feels like a stretch. Source: about 3 years ago

  I once read a long, long post on fark.com that was a game development insider and his post changed my eyes about game development cycles, why games are still $60 and not $120 'on the shelf' and the human limitations to work with tools more advanced than the pool of talent and deadlines too short to learn how to properly flesh out the power of the tools that they build these games with. --- With that being said :...
