HN is about to overtake Slashdot.
- creativeone 15y agoAs a hackernews convert from slashdot from last week, I'm happy to be a statistic.
- burke 15y agoHonestly, I'm a little surprised Slashdot is still as popular as it is. I quit using it in 2006 and have only rarely heard about it since. On the other hand, I guess HN is somewhat a niche site.
- syaz1 15y agoI stopped recently. I find the news are always late due to moderation, and there are just way too many 3-5 Funny than I'd like. Plus I believe anything you can find there, also has been posted here.
- michaelpinto 15y agoI'm surprised that it hasn't overshot Digg...
- breck 15y agoOver the years my social news time has stayed around constant but has been split like this: - slashdot - slashdot < reddit - slashdot < reddit < hn - slashdot < reddit < hn - slashdot < reddit < quora < hn With quora maybe a contender to overtake hn but probably not. I still check slashdot ever few weeks, reddit every week or so, and quora and hn multiple times per week. Have other people followed similar trends?
- rick888 15y agoI moved away from slashdot about 3 or 4 years ago. For, it went: digg->reddit->HN. I check HN+Reddit a few times a day.
