Slashdot, Digg and Reddit all had the same "unique" feeling for a long time. Something will replace HN eventually.
- duxup 7y agoI never felt like Slashdot, Dig, or Reddit expected the same amount of depth / thoughtfulness. Like when I ask a question here I'm not inundated by "I just read wikipedia and i'm here to splain it to you!" folks (I did too man .. that's not my question) and the expected depth on HN was / sometimes is fairly comprehensive. Also a lot less meme level type blogsmap nad links to folks who have blogs that actually know something. For me that was fairly unique to HN, at least as far as programming type stuff goes. Slasdhot, dig, reddit, always kinda spammy / shallow.
