I'm not sure any platform can nosedive quite like slashdot. I'm not sure what the wreck looked like but the entire culture of slashdot and fresh meat seemed to disappear at some point.

The downfall of Digg led directly to reddit and the death of Mr. Schwartz began reddits long path into slow enshitification.
