I also greatly liked the Slashdot moderation system. But I left slash for HN because I was sick of editorializing in the summary, along with completely inaccurate summaries unchecked by the editors. Sometimes I wish HN had support for small summaries under the article titles, but then I realize that at least this way I don't have to deal with the above two problems!
- kethinov 11y agoI remain active on both (along with reddit and Ars Technica too). I see value in each community's ways of doing things, and it doesn't bother me one bit that Slashdot's editors have bias, so long as they're transparent about it when posting opinions which tends to be the case.
- muraiki 11y agoYeah, I realize that bias is impossible to completely eliminate. The greater reason for me was consistently coming across summaries that were inaccurate and an editor failed to correct it before posting. This was also a number of years ago, so I don't know what things are like there now.
