Actually some of the comments mention that they have been using .NET at their companies.

But yeah, /. has been going downhill for years (not surprising, considering that they where the original IT discussion forum back when the bubble was still going).

Slashdot, and especially the comments, are ridiculously hard to suffer through. I unsubscribed in GReader last week after reading uninformed rants that were more offensive than even this piece.

True enough. I have not unsubscribe yet but I've stopped reading it for over a month now. Poor signal:noise ratio and people seems to fight over getting 5 Funny.

Now I read HN and Reddit's daily top.

Any suggestions where we should all be moving on to next?

You didn't hear it from me, but I suspect many of the /. guys have come here recently.

You're on it.

To be honest, Slashdot had already been relegated to my "Read while [] on the toilet" material. I honestly don't miss it. The newsworthy items are on reddit or HN before Slashdot anyway, and I really don't miss the more meta or conversational pieces.

(years ago) I would read the site compulsively. Now I need an article link to it from HN or reddit or X that reminds me that the site even exists.

So it goes.

Slashdot still has many excellent comments.

Just don't read it real time. Wait a day, and the good comments will be moderated as such.
