I visit here because HN aggressively focuses on content and has an intelligent userbase that values discussion and doesn't seem to get caught up in memes the way reddit seems to. I used to visit Slashdot all the time because their userbase was intelligent enough to offset the low number of news items they covered, but they recently changed their interface to a dynamically loading AJAX monstrosity and disallowed preferences to keep the old, quicker HTML interface. At HN I can get news faster than Slashdot, with just as high a level of discussion and no overblown interface. I'm sold.
