I see the fall of the Roman Empire as a loose allegory
Into the Dark Ages we go.
@gnoop @[email protected] I see the decline and fall of Rome more as an escape from the darkness tbh
The fall of Rome lead to the middle ages. That meant a fracturing of the former Roman empire, then various factions trying to recreate the former Roman empire or at least the western portion of it. Seems like some are just dropping off Reddit and moving to other smaller forums and link aggregation sites; some even mentioned visiting Slashdot and Fark. Like I said, some new sites may come along and we'll have a renaissance.
