Yes, but in all fairness, slashdot, unlike reddit had a niche it was pursuing: "tech news". Granted there were meme posts during its heyday too (eg, micro$oft bad) but I think opposing opinions were given way more consideration than similar discussion garner on reddit (or even here, on HN) to this day.
- wccrawford 5y agoI think that was true at one point, but later I don't think it was true. Well, at least compared to HN. I think it was always better than Reddit, but I don't expect intelligent discussion there like I do on tech news sites.
