It's too bad the content of a site is tied to its moderation system. It would be great if you could, say, use reddit but abide by a completely independent way of moderating.
- BashiBazouk 4y agoI miss kuro5hin and if we are going back in history, Plastic as well.
- vidanay 4y agoI should check if my five digit slashdot account is still valid. Edit: yup, still works! #86xxx
- trollied 4y agoHeh, mine still works too. #1xxxx id. Used to love the site back in the day.
- nosianu 4y agoSlashdot user ID measuring contest? Okay I'm in: #130x The last time I was in such a contest I started out very proud of my low number, but was quickly and thoroughly beaten many times by people with numbers down to the single digits... Oh well, I was an early user of the WWW too, using Mosaic. Before that: nn and gopher.
- TwoNineFive 4y agoThe morons are the ones who click on adverts, and so long as clicking on adverts is the goal, they will always win. That's why there are no social networks. They are moron menageries. Idiot aggregators. Stupidity sieves.
- red-iron-pine 4y agoHow many adverts have you clicked on at Reddit? Or HN. Plenty of ways to market without clickable ads. Shaping consensus and datamining reactions, in real time, is far more useful than getting the bottom 33% to click on ads which are easily blocked by modern browser plugins.
