    TBH it feels like a pretty continuous evolution of Reddit, Digg, and whatever was between Digg and usenet. There’s self selection that’s made it a bit more harmonious than Reddit, but that’s it.

    That being said, it’s super cool to get a glimpse into the million different experiences people have had. The internet is a magical place.

      whatever was between Digg and usenet

      for me, it was a mix of Slashdot and a bunch of discussion boards.

        Oh yeah, I forgot about Slashdot!

        I was around for a bit of the disparate forums era, but I have no idea which ones fed into which 2.0 platforms.
