I stopped reading Slashdot as much because the curated nature of the site meant that stories showed up and were discussed on Digg and Reddit DAYS before they showed up on Slashdot. So Slashdot content felt old. However, I find the discussion better on Slashdot due to their complex rating system, which is why I still visit Slashdot. Up and down votes are too simplistic and you get a lot of bad comments bubbling up or being buried for seemling no good reason. That's why I stopped reading Digg and Reddit. Interesting, informative, off-topic, flamebait, etc... More sites need to adopt Slashdot's rating system.
