StumbleUpon
Reddit. Unfortunately it’s defunct beyond repair now, but back in the day it was a nice place to discuss all sorts of topics with knowledgeable and like-minded folk.
The Zionists and American fascists seem to be taking it over too.
r/politics was mass censoring any coverage of the Jimmy Kimmel debacle recently.
It was defunct long before that.
Defunct in the sense that it doesn’t work as well it used to.
I kinda miss stumbleupon. Found a lot of cool flash games and stuff from that!
I liked the idea, but after a while it just kept sending me to the same places.
They were trying to tell you to touch grass
yeah haha that was a bit annoying!
(Link works like stumbleupon basically)
ooh, neat! ty!
Digg.
I wouldn’t be on Lemmy today if it weren’t for Digg committing suicide, forcing everyone to switch to reddit. And then reddit went full retard with the 3rd party app thing, so here I am.
Sure you could go there still now. But it’s an empty husk of what it was before. Flash died without any viable replacement for all the old flash games that relied on it.
They enshitified a ton too.
Not dead, but not nearly as alive as it used to be.
https://homestarrunner.com/I wanted to say this too, but yeah they are still here. And their latest cartoon is relevant too.

They were super early YouTube.
Were? I get their short clips in my Youtube recommendations.
There WERE super early YouTube. Meaning they were first to be uploading on that platform. Not saying they haven’t been producing content.
Wow! I can’t believe I forgot this!! Core memories unlocking…
I learned about net neutrality through him
Not defunct and was only my favorite for a very short period of time, but it left an impression and I still find myself referencing it from time to time. Serving the same great content for 25 years!
ZOMBO COM!
I hear anything is possible at that website! Anything at all! The infinite is possible! The unattainable is unknown!
I make references to it periodically and only like 2 people IRL have gotten it.
Zombocom was and still is the only website in the world.
YTMND from 20 years ago.
Technically it still exists but it’s effectively dead.
deleted by creator
Forgot about that one
not dead, but pretty dead anyway: cracked.com
Cracked had a 10/10 movie podcast that was stopped abruptly (after it was bought up & butchered ,laying off like 100 staff) & it was the best movie podcast.
i fondly remember one post once that had me in tears, about teaching somali pirates about ebay
I liked them until they got political. Totally ruined their vibe.
typical dot world
It’s not defunct tho… Newgrounds is still around.
Actually, none of my favorite websites are defunct. Something Awful, LiveJournal, and Penny-Arcade are also still going.
Long live the old internet.
Rip Stumble upon.
