Farklo

Farklo is a fictional online community and news aggregator. Founded in 1999, it operates by allowing users to submit links to articles, images, or videos from around the web. These submissions are then voted on by other users. Submissions that receive a sufficient number of positive votes are then featured on the site's front page for a period of time, becoming accessible to a wider audience.

The site is known for its often humorous and satirical take on news and current events. User-generated content can range from serious news articles to pop culture curiosities. Farklo's comment sections below each featured item are a significant part of its culture, often characterized by witty banter, inside jokes, and sometimes heated discussions. The community has developed its own lexicon and a distinct sense of humor over the years.

While the core concept is similar to other link aggregation sites, Farklo has maintained a dedicated user base due to its unique community atmosphere and its selective curation process, which relies heavily on user participation. The site’s moderation policies and the community's engagement contribute to its distinctive online persona.
