In the last 3 days I've been paying attention to r/all, expecting several posts about it and...

Yeah

Wasn't expecting the website to literally shut down nor to monopolize r/all, because 3rd party users are the minority, but I hoped for more than whatever this was.

At least there's a silver lining, I discovered new alternatives that have healthier communities

Possible it'll go the direction of Neopets and stuff. Still around, but not what it once was.

Alternatively, it could go in the direction of facebook - still around and packed full of everybody's racist great aunts, romance scammers, and weed dealers.

Even Digg is still around. But I think most people agree that it is "dead." Reddit will probably end up the same.

Hell, even MySpace is still around.

@Hypx same with Tumblr. It exists, but the core reason I used it is now gone and so are many of its members.
