Wow, what a horrible site. Is it available elsewhere?

You must be a newer human. Slashdot is a venerable news site of old, with a very interesting comment and moderation scheme. Just because something is different does not make it horrible. I actually rather like /. and think many others do as well.

  Just because you like something (i.e a website with really shitty spammy advertising), it doesn’t mean other people have to.

  I'm pretty old, but any website with broken back button is a bad engineering.

    How does /. has broken back button?

  No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame.

  Used it for what HN is as well, but the takeaway from the article for me was that /. still exists!

What do you not like about it? There are some buttons on top, text in the middle and comments on the bottom. I'd say that's a pretty straight forward UI.

As others have pointed out, Slashdot is a classic site. It has been around for decades at this point and it used to fulfil the role that Hacker News does for me today: it was where I would go to see news about tech. It makes me sad to see that it has gone down hill so much since I last visited. Hacking the back button like that makes me not want to visit again.
