hey, some of us still read /.
- airstrike 8y agoYes, all six of us who prefer to read news a day late
- dvtrn 8y agoWait, there's six of us? eyes the room suspiciously
- curtis3389 8y agoavoids eye contact
- TomVDB 8y agoIt'd be very interesting to see the financials of a dwarf star like Slashdot. What does it take to keep it running? How many people are still employed by them? It has been over a decade since I last went there.
- avinium 8y agoI tried logging in the other day. For some reason, the page linked from the reset password email was completely broken. I reached out on Twitter, but it remained like that for days. I’d be surprised if they had even one full time staff for the site. I’d say Slashdot is sustained purely on inertia. Pretty sure it’s just drifting towards the Sun and destined to blip out of existence eventually. It’s a shame, but HN has clearly supplanted Slashdot as a place for nerds to congregate.

- sli 8y agoI will say I miss meta-moderation. That was a neat feature.
- dreen 8y agoRight? Way ahead of its time, in my opinion.
- superflit 8y agoYou Insensitive Clod!!
- kregasaurusrex 8y agoThe comments are less professional, and by a large majority the links are dictated by the editor. HN serves as a model for dialogue which more sites should emulate.
- dreen 8y agoFrankly I think /.s model of moderation is superior to most other sites, eclipsed to my knowledge only by stack exchange (no experience with discourse)
