I miss what it was, not what it has become.
I was never on it for as long as some other people but I definitely feel some nostalgia when I hear talk about the reddit of years and years past
Just as I opened Lemmy this morning, my first thought was how I used to get news faster on reddit. I feel so uninformed...AND NOW FOR YOUR COMMERCIALS
I mean there are a lot of communities for news here I think, I also check Hacker News and stuff too
I think what it was, was mostly what the world was. The web as we now know it was just taking off and we were the first. I remember when they made r/DAE because the front page was filled with Does Anyone Else posts. What a naive time. We'll never see it again.
