TvTropes article on forum pecking orders. For those of you who miss or want to go back to the days when they were in vogue, I think it puts some perspective on why they declined (tvtropes.org)

Stereotypical authoritarian leaders in history tend to do opulent, egocentric things like building statues of themselves everywhere or writing songs about how cool they are and making kids in school sing them. What are some examples of modest dictators whose regimes skipped that type of pomp and circumstance?

True internet veterans will remember when it was called Drawball.

Interesting how world flags and forum/subreddit logos dominated both then and now. I guess those type of experiments attract people who crave some kind of social identity (sort of like street gangs and graffiti)

[db0] Reddit is a dead site running by lemoncow in c/snoocalypse@lemmy.ml

i really want to know why myspace's owners even bother keeping the lights on any more. to my knowledge's there's no niche community of hanger-ons who still passionately use it (please correct if I'm wrong). most of the main content of the site (pics and music) have been purged so there's no reason to even keep it up for nostalgia/historical purposes.

This place has become a ghost town by lemoncow in c/reddit@lemmy.world

When old Reddit dies I will stop even visiting.
