Who the hell even reads slashdot anymore? It's been years, for me. Digg and Reddit pick up the stuff I actually want to know about, and I don't have to put up with Cmdr Taco's government-conspiracy pontifications.
- Reddit is a big group of paranoids ;-) rather than just one gun-toting Michigan hick, and
- the government "conspiracy" stories on Reddit are, by and large, true or close to true, whereas on ./ they're complete mis-readings of stories or out-and-out BS. It's a matter of degree, in other words.
