IMO Slashdot always had some very narrow focus points and the community pretty predictable.
Not a lot of variety in content or community compared to the digs or reddits of the world.
- lanfeust6 1y agopersonally hoping for a cultural shift back to smaller decentralized communities
- duxup 1y agoI like the idea, although smaller communities I find now a days to be far less formal and respectful than the slashdot heydays. The ride or die fans of a given thing or community sometimes are strange folks. People greatly upset by differing opinions and so on.
- lanfeust6 1y agoI believe it, as old ossified communities go. I remember a few old vbulletin spots that went through an exodus and often the ones who stick around are trolls, spammers, or odd ducks and people addicted to snark.
