- ricksunny 11mo agoI still check t regularly alongside HN. Need a counterpoint to HN submission coverage and crowd-editorial zeitgeist.
- bartvk 11mo agoYup, me too. What’s funny is that your slashdot account can make friends (or enemies!) with other accounts, and there’s a limit of 200. Sometimes I spot comments of friends I made like 20 years ago.
- SirFatty 11mo agoSame.. however I've been using Alterslash as a story summary for years. https://alterslash.org/ https://alterslash.org/
- jiehong 11mo agoMaybe lobste.rs?
- esseph 11mo agoMostly HN reposts and extremely limited ability to post there if you don't have Bay Area social circles.
- theideaofcoffee 11mo agoIt's sad to see its decline. I started reading right around 2000 and even noticed that it started to decline even as early as 2008, after and around some of its redesigns. I know I quit regularly stopping around there probably around that time too.
- romanhn 11mo agoYup, around 2008 is when I noticed that many of the Slashdot front page submissions were discussed on this new site called Hacker News 1-2 days prior, minus the trolling and the comedy threads. It was a pretty easy switch at that point.
