What the hell happened to Slashdot? I was on it from 1997 until about 2010ish, and now it is pretty ugly.
I think /. cratered due to poor moderation. It's just toxic. Digg is now like Axios for people who think link I do, so I check it daily. And reddit is, well, since the Digg/Reddit wars, its just become all-consuming and too noisy for me.
I'm guessing HN has remained civil because paid mods--who strive to be objective--really do make a difference.
