Suggesting that slashdot has a similar level of conversation to Reddit is deeply depressing regardless of how accurate it might be. My slashdot ID is six digits. I check in about thrice a year and leave sad. For me it's like going to a podcast festival. Everybody's a bearded white 40 year old man. They're mostly saying things that make sense but there's an uneasy sense that I've walked into an echo-chamber.
