Agreed. This used to be the case with Slashdot, but that became a shithole with the new management. Sorry for the language, but as a long-time reader and commenter on Slashdot, I was very bitter when stuff started going downhill.

I've found HN to be a very good alternative. The comments/discussions were a bit iffy to get into at first with some trigger-happy downmods, but overall I think the conversation is very constructive. And there is a dearth of information and helpful things being said.




Where's the dearth?


[..]being said/posted on HN. Sorry, should have elaborated that sentence.


Did you mean wealth? Otherwise I'm confused by your statement.


Wow, dearth does NOT mean what I though it does. Anyways, I meant to say "lots", which is the complete opposite of dearth.

Thanks for being confused :)


Just a subtle prod in the right direction :)

I actually went and looked up 'dearth' just to be sure it meant 'lack of'.
