Alas, Slashdot has lost my interest. It was more meaty back in the day. Or maybe it's I am changing.. IDK.

- roelschroeven 6y agoIt's not just you. I've been reading since the end of last century, and I still go there regularly. It used to be the case that every day there were at least a few posts interesting posts there, that I hadn't yet read somewhere else. It kinda was my portal in the world of technology news. That's not the case anymore: the posts now are mostly not interesting (to me, at least), and mostly not exactly news anymore. What I used to value about Slashdot were mostly the comments (much like here on Hacker News). Yes, there was lots of spam, but when reading on level 2 or 3 much of the comments did add value to the story. These days the comments have decreased very significantly, both in quantity and quality. Slashdot really used to be much more meaty, as you say. These days I get my tech news from Ars Technica, Hacker News, LWN, and some Reddit subs.
