That's funny because I've seen some people on Reddit say they're going to use Fark instead after the controversy. I guess old sites just don't die.
I still visit Slashdot pretty regularly, but I make it a point to avoid the comments section.
Not going back too far, mine was IRC > Slashdot > FuckedCompany > Fark> 4chan > Reddit > Digg > back to Reddit lol > Lemmy

Had almost the same journey, except I've never heard of fark before.
Newgroups on AOL>Too Many to List
I had the same journey but I'm pretty sure I found Slashdot by way of boingboing which I found by way of Diesel Sweeties blog posts when I first got a DSL connection in 2002 and was looking for comics and blogs to fill up my trendy new RSS reader lol
I skipped Fark, but my progression is largely the same. Once in a blue moon, I still visit Slashdot. It's like checking up on an ex to see how they're doing.
Fark eh. I used to have a double digit account number of there. Those were the days.
I kind of skipped Fark entirely, but other than that, yeah that was my route here.
