What if Reddit never existed?

How would it be?

[-]

I think I might still be on slashdot.

[-]

It would be awesome

[-]

Something would take its place and it would be of... similar quality.

[-]

Digg existed.

[-]

Yep hopefully the new Digg would be better

[-]

It wouldn't be. There were great alternatives that got drowned out and absorbed by reddit.

As with the forums I use outside reddit, the quality tends to be higher.

[-]

Digg would still be king.

[-]

We’d be a lot more brain rotted to Fox News and state media

[-]

there would be more niche sites/independently operated message boards and chatrooms that operate independently

[-]

Maybe we would still be on usenet (which was better in every way)?
