Slashdot?
- spooneybarger 16y agoplease. have you read the comments on slashdot anytime in the last... o at least 10 years? the median level of discussion is vastly below what you get on HN for just about any topic.
- mopoke 16y agoMy comment was a little tongue-in-cheek. I do still follow slashdot's RSS feed, but I tend to only notice stories because I remember having seen them elsewhere a few days before. I don't remember Slashdot ever really having much in the way of enlightening discussion.

- portmanteaufu 16y agoI've followed Slashdot for years -- to me, it's a source of article links, whereas HN provides both links and valuable commentary. I suppose the real question is: "Is there a site with a community of comparable quality to HN that is less startup-focused?" No disrespect to the /. crowd intended. I feel as though I learn as much from the HN user-base discussions as I do from the articles themselves. I simply haven't felt that way about Slashdot.
