Somehow this site has replaced Slashdot for me. The conversations are just as good if not a bit more neutral in tone. Also the articles are much fresher over here.

The original reddit, the one where pg article still made it on the top of the one and only front page, replaced Slashdot for me.

Once reddit was taken over by trolls, HN replaced reddit.

And now, it's HN with a small selection of sub-reddits with tiny and/or strictly moderated communities.

s/just as//

In all seriousness, when people ask me what HN is, I reply "It's like /. when it was relevant". Thank you for being here, HN.
