And this was at the same time, or roughly the same time, that slashdot started making 'improvements'. I dumped both slashdot and digg to go to reddit. And now I'm starting to look for somewhere else to go.
You have succeeded, you are on HackerNews. Isn't this why we are all here? HackerNews is kind of like what Slashdot,Digg and Reddit were originally; that is "news for nerds".
Yeah, but I still love dank memes, is the issue. I have just enough childish mess inside me that I want some deep fried memes or somethings like that. For example, one of my most frequented subreddits is r/Im15andthisisyeet.
Absolutely no value for the HN crowd, and it would piss me off to no end if that sort of thing came here, but I still want it occasionally.
Hacker News isn't really comaparable to the different niche subreddits that I am subscribed to. At the same time I am not interested at all in the business-related articles that are also part of this site. That's why I still use reddit: I can subscribe to the topics I like while filtering out others or only viewing them when I'm bored.
