How do you find HN compares to Slashdot?

  Don't read slashdot (never seen it TBH)

  Discussion on hn is higher quality. I'm an almost original slashdot reader, user id is 4 digits. I haven't browsed there in perhaps years at this point.

    The Microsoft bashing was better on slashdot though </joke> I'm still getting used to the idea that Microsoft might not be all evil. It's a weird feeling :)

    It is pretty bad now, low signal to noise ratio. Lots of trolling.

    It's been at least a decade or more since I have been on /. . It really seemed to have went down hill when the Bush election was going on, they did a lot of political coverage and it just ruined the feel of the site. People started exposing their political bent and the site in general just became more snarky.
