I gave up reading Slashdot* but I have started reading it again occasionally. The new design looks like any other blog; I might give up again if they go with this look.
Problems with Slashdot that caused me to leave:
* Stories getting later
* Less relevant stories
* Stories posted with opinionated comments in the summary
* Commenting got slower and waiting unusably long for a preview
* Horrible moderation; e.g. add lots of irrelevant links to Wikipedia = +5; too many (un)"funny" comments; way too many meme comments
* Anti patent stance with no understanding of what patents actually are
I don't see Reddit as an alternative. Reddit is where you go to waste time. I'm not interested in captioned photos, TIL or AMA.
