Bye bye /. .. you will be missed.

  It's been awful ever since the narrative on there was almost entirely changed to "freedom and rights from the point of view of socially awkward software engineers". You cannot curate a community based on negativity, bile and cynicism and expect it flourish.

    But enough about 1999. Honestly, wasn't that always what /. was about?

    "negativity, bile and cynicism" Sounds like a niche to me. Niches are good.

    It got a lot better since that crowd migrated over to Reddit.

    Freedom and rights with absolutely no responsibilities.

    I can give you many counterexamples, at least in computer gaming circles. You need to have something in addition to cynicism, though.
