I came here in November of last year looking for an alternative to reddit, and in that time, this space has transformed to look more like reddit than I ever expected it to become.

I don't know what I expected, but it wasn't just reddit all over again with a smaller userbase.

It was a forum, not a hellsite.

What time frame are you referring to?

    2008-2015, at least. Even now - it's distinct from what I'd call social media.

    Is Fark social media?

    Despite the admins best effort.

    I wouldn't think so, but reddit feels closer. But not the strictict definition. Similar to the YouTube debate tbh.
