I read a lot of /. back in the day. I even had my 5 minutes of internet fame with the Sony Rootkit fiasco ( https://www.google.com.mx/search?biw=1344&bih=759&q=sony+rootkit+"xtracto"&oq=sony+rootkit+"xtracto" https://www.google.com.mx/search?biw=1344&bih=759&q=sony+roo... ) . However, I stopped going at some point because I felt I was in an "echo chamber". Actually that's how I started visiting Reddit and later Hacker News. I liked HackerNews because it had some contrasting values compared to slashdot, valuing "for profit" software efforts, and having more technically focused comments.
