Ok, forget Reddit for a second. Did anyone post on SomethingAwful back in the day? (beehaw.org)

This place (Lemmy) reminds me a lot of when I used to post on SA back before Reddit was popular. I wouldn't call it "small" per se, but you actually knew who the moderators were. And since there was no upvote/downvote system, it was a lot more casual and people didn't feel the need to try to tailor their posts to get upvoted.

Of course, it was also a dumpster fire sometimes too, and just like Reddit, the guy running it was a jerk. But I do miss it sometimes.

My husband is pretty active there still.

Wow, I honestly didn't even know it was still around! Maybe I'll poke my head back in. I used to play Eve back when SA had a big presence on there. It has been over a decade.
