It's amazing how crappy the internet has gotten over the last decade or so. Yes, before that was the blogspam and link hijackers, but those were real problems that search engines were actively cracking down on via their Spam teams.

In the meantime, the relevance teams took a break and started trusting their social signals too much - now we've built an internet which incentivizes popularity over accuracy and has done so for a long time. Used to be that I could find things on Google and, if I couldn't, I knew the advanced search tools to tailor the search and get where I needed. Now, I just add "site:reddit.com" to the query. But if the niche communities die, that's a lot of knowledge that just vanishes.

From Reddit (following the pattern of escaping Digg -> Reddit -> next).

Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod born and raised, got much more into my faith over the last 5 years after going through some tough personal trials and seeing the absolute power of God when I have none. Finishing up a read through of MacArthur's Study Bible, which has been an amazing experience. Married to a wonderful woman who is excited to grow in faith together. In my personal life, I enjoy getting out into nature, reading, gaming, and working out.

I like "Lemmur" - but maybe even shortening it to "Lemur" so it doesn't show the red underline each time :)
