    Stumbleupon was kind of like that. Along with being an early type of link aggregator, any website would have its own comment section that was only visible to other stumbleupon users.

    I used to enjoy it, and it looks like it may still be alive in some form. But I’m not brave enough to see how shitty it’s become. I’ll keep my rose tinted glasses on.

      I loved stumbleupon, but with its moderation policy, it doesn’t surprise me in the slightest that it went down hard.

          Oh, they just catered to Karens with automated bans, and no human review.

          They also had a policy that if you didn’t restrict your account to PG-level content, all of your submissions were considered X-rated.
