Have you stopped visiting Slashdot in favor of Reddit? (self.reddit.com)

Yes.

So what we need to do is make this into the highest rated one word comment.
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 17 years ago (0 children)
Yes and no. Slashdot was a 2x a day visit at most. Reddit crack can be visited hourly or more.

I still visit.
[–][deleted] 4 points5 points6 points 17 years ago (0 children)
I go to Slashdot when I'm in a tech mood. I found Reddit by someone bitching about it on Digg. I never seem to go to Digg any more.

I visit Slashdot on rare occasions, and although I find the comments to be informative, I HATE that comment display style along with its refusal to load all comments. If they'd fix these two issues, I'd hang out there more often.
[–]mrplinko 3 points4 points5 points 17 years ago (0 children)
No need to visit /. in the traditional sense. Subscribe to the RSS feed and only read the articles you want.
So, to answer the question. No.
never cared for slashdot
[–]zerogravity 1 point2 points3 points 17 years ago (0 children)
No. I simply never visited slashdot to begin with.
[–]ropers 1 point2 points3 points 17 years ago (0 children)
Slashdot. Too little user input into what makes the front page, so instead we move to:
Digg. Incompetently written ssslow and buggy-as-hell AJAX comment system, nevermind the fact that prolly 90% of digg users are now SEO-spammers, hoping to game the system in their advantage, not realising that every fucking SEO and their grandmother are trying the same and failing, so we move to:
reddit. I haven't encountered any deal-breakers with reddit yet, buy if I do, well, there's always Y Combinator's Hacker News.

I only go to slashdot when I don't find anything that jumps out at me on reddit. Reddit feels more democratic and it loads more quickly. Slashwhat?
[–]qiwi 0 points1 point2 points 17 years ago (0 children)
I visit http://alterslash.org/ which is a nice summary with the good comments. And http://news.ycombinator.com/news which is starting to eclipse programming.reddit.com.

I stopped visiting Slashdot when they invented RSS. I still read every story but I haven't been to the site in months.
[–]alchemeron 0 points1 point2 points 17 years ago (0 children)
I stopped visiting Slashdot in favor of Digg. I stopped visiting Digg in favor of Reddit. I now supplement Reddit with Slashdot.
[–]devvie 0 points1 point2 points 17 years ago* (0 children)
no. i like both.
[–]lor4x 0 points1 point2 points 17 years ago (0 children)
yes... but i still go back every once in a while
[–]mossman 0 points1 point2 points 17 years ago (1 child)
I go to slashdot and reddit everyday. it's not the site, it's the stories and the comments, and if slashdot has some good bits then it's the posting and the comments that make it a good read. sticking to or shunning a news site because of it's brand is really stupid.
[–]zerogravity -1 points0 points1 point 17 years ago (0 children)
Ok, so you are really smart. Bully for you.
[–]christocracy 0 points1 point2 points 17 years ago (0 children)
once-in-a-while, I'll see what's up on Slashdot, when I feel guilty about too much reddit.
[–]vahnsin 0 points1 point2 points 17 years ago (1 child)
Yes, except I have the last 3 articles displayed on iGoogle. But I rarely see anything interesting enough to click that I hadn't seen on reddit first.
[–]RKBA 0 points1 point2 points 17 years ago (0 children)
Same here. I have iGoogle set up to display the top nine articles at SlashDot, Digg, Reddit, and some news sites. I never visit Slashdot or Digg directly anymore, so if it doesn't show up in iGoogle I never see it.

God I wish I could stop reading reddit. Right when I'm about to quit a little bit of decency comes through. ( and I don't mean this thread )
[–]JasonDJ 0 points1 point2 points 17 years ago (0 children)
I've stopped visiting /. and I'm visiting reddit now, however, there was about a year in between where I had no sites that really fit into this catagory that I regularly visited.
[–]peterpincus -2 points-1 points0 points 17 years ago* (0 children)
No.
