Both those will let me see everything I find interesting that has been posted while nit having to worry about checking twice an hour to catch interesting stories before they are flagged to death.
- sillysaurus3 9y agohckrnews is good. I like the linear nature. But look at the actual articles that are currently dead. Their silly CSS makes it impossible to copy-paste and filter by [dead], but suffice to say the headlines aren't flattering. The system seems to be working quite well. The idea that a massive amount of quality is slipping through the cracks due to flagging is suspect at best. Anyone who spends significant time on /new will know just how much cruft is caught by flags. You just don't see how well it's working because wading through /new is tedious (to put it very mildly).
