Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda Resigns From Slashdot

Sometimes, while on HN, I miss the playfulness that made /. a true joy in the past.

I do as well, but I also keep reminding myself "This is Hacker News, not Slashdot." And so I down-vote people who post memes and the typical /. off-topic crap. I just always take comfort in knowing that, when I want that stuff, Slashdot is still around.

I get my meme fix on Reddit these days.

Interestingly enough, I rarely find much in the way of memes on Reddit. But I think it's because I almost never visit the front-page or any of the popular sub-reddits. I stick to a lot of very niche / specialized sub-reddits like /r/machine_learning and /r/semanticweb and /r/csbooks, etc. <shrug />
