Really off-topic, but still sad: This is a link to slashdot, but it's on HN's frontpage before it's on slashdot's front-page (if it'll ever get there). (And IMHO that's sad, because /. used to be top notch).
I've noticed before that stuff from the HN frontpage appears on /. one to three days after, but I've never seen it for links to slashdot :-)
- pc86 14y agoI've noticed the same thing for almost every tech-related subreddit, especially /r/startups and /r/programming. A consistent 2-3 day lag.
- Zancarius 14y agoI rather wish this was a link instead to the original thread rather than to Slashdot. It isn't a big deal, but it certainly would have saved an extra click. Also off-topic: I've noticed that as well with Slashdot, which is why I lurk HN pretty regularly now. Plus, some of the front page material on /. does more to insight angry discussion, and the community has become increasingly more vitriolic. At least here, even if someone's brash, they're fairly honest about it (in general). I've even seen a number of disagreements that have been respectful and cordial. It's sad to say, but that's a rare thing these days.
