The author suggests that techies may migrate back to Slashdot. I, for one, never left. Their editorial selection for front-page news cannot be beat. The commentary is still drivel, though.
My philosophy: go to Slashdot for the news, come to HN for the commentary.
- smhinsey 18y agoi've found myself going back to slashdot after a decently long absence as well, but man, it's like they are in a competition with digg over who can have the worst comment interface. it's better than it used to be, but it's way too noisy.
- halo 18y agoI still haven't figured out how the new comment interface actually works, which scores major negative points for usability. At least the old-style version was simple.
- wanorris 18y agoSlashdot is too noisy for me. Aside from Hacker News, I still find some useful things on Programming Reddit, and I keep up with other tech news on Techmeme.
