many people who have joined have related their extended stints on communities Reddit, Dig, Slashdot, or even older places like Usenet, and i’m super interested in what your best memories and favorite experiences on places like that have been in your time using them

    The first community I really connected with was on the OG MacRumors forum. I used to spend tons of time there and joined their private forum and made several friends that I ended up meeting IRL. It was such a great community back in the day (2008). I still have a handful of people I keep in contact with from there to this day.
