i have a slashdot account and I too have noticed they have gone downhill. I never go there anymore. I think the editors leave something to be desired and I personally think that they are controlled somewhat by their sponsers. so if you say anything bad about their sponsers (like the truth) you get called a troll, flamebait etc. the comments there are just not quality comments either - maybe they are just too popular I don't know but it definitely isn't what it use to be. I personally hate their rating system - you should actually rate the story not the comments. anyway my two cents worth - I mostly come here now and groklaw - I find that the comments are more intelligent and you can actually discuss the topic - also tend to stick to the facts and the truth - not marketing 101. |

jsusanka: Thanks for your comment. We have a lot of comments about this story on digg. Many people felt the same way about Slashdot and some slashdotters invaded digg with condescending remarks. It says a lot about some readers. I didn't have a problem with Slashdot like a lot of people. My issue was that it thrived initially on GNU and Linux, a Linux company purchased it and they have dropped Linux off their radar. I also had a major problem with the CNN article. Still, I understand your problem and respect you for sharing your point of view. |
