I miss how fun Fark was before I became aware of how conservative the mods are. The more of the conservatism I saw, the more I realized the place was not really for normal people and I felt like an intruder. I was so happy to find Reddit.
Interesting. Because they didn’t share your viewes, you felt they weren’t “normal” people?
Then you found Reddit, which (at least today) is fairly left wing. And you’re happy you found it, because it’s filled with people who share your views.
they didn’t share your viewes (sic)…
Correct. Racism, homophobia, xenophobia, transphobia, misogyny and other conservative bigotry are not views I share with conservatives, so I felt it would be best to find another place.
you felt they weren’t “normal” people?
Correct. I do not consider harmful conservative ideologies to be consistent with the ideologies one would expect from normal people. Although, I concede that conservatives likely consider their own bigotry to be perfectly normal.
You can find those views literally anywhere online with varying degrees
No offense, but you sound like a typical online conservative who thinks all leftists are commie loving, America hating, flag stopping, socialists vegans.
You obviously hate an entire group of people for some views that are not shared by all. This is dangerous and I would encourage you not to paint with such a broad brush.
Though I realize as I’m typing this you’ve already convinced yourself you are right and anyone who disagrees with you is wrong so this is a futile effort on my part. Safe journey.
Also everything being in a single thread often resulted in me giving up on bothering. And the contrast immediately attracted me to Reddit (I think I went from checking Fark daily to just never going back when I discovered Reddit, at least not until the API changes).
The photoshop battles were amazing
Thou’st see-eth me rolling, thou’st hating.

If thou arriveth speaking in insults, we shall verily receive gossip from your allies.
I only knoweth to be an honest man.
Do not quoth mine words, for I haven’t spaketh.

I still browse Fark daily, if that’s what you mean.
You sure type well for someone who can neither see nor hear, Anne.

I use Fark daily, except for the days that the squirrel with big balls decides to get drunk (servers go down)

Fark and Slashdot.
Someone on Lemmy had posted the gold spray paint huffing guy the other day… that will never not be funny and sad simultaneously.

Holy shit this image really is a blast from the past. I haven’t seen this dude in probably 15 years.
My Fark account is old enough to buy alcohol
Lolz
I learned about the world trade center attack on Fark. All of the major new sites crashed so people were using it to share information in real time.
Fark, slashdot, Penny arcade forums, something awful, phpbb, reddit, lobsters, Lemmy, ? Curious to see what comes next in public foruming
Craigslist forums.
doot

Yes, but let’s keep the good parts. This is a great start.
