The people who are still using Slashdot are the people like me who cannot overcome the "sunk Cost Fallacy" and move elsewhere. There is maybe, MAYBE one or two articles a week now that are worth my time on Slashdot.

The tech board on 8chan is more lively and interesting. And there are some people there who do just about everything in tech from finding virus vectors to virtual engineering to building gamming PCs.

The meme people will flood Imgur and deal with that bad website (Twitter with pictures IMO and I FUCKING HATE twitter). The thing I miss about Reddit are the niche gaming subreddits like for EU4 and Crusader Kings and even Elite Dangerous. The Kerbal Space Program subreddit was the best place in all of Reddit, again in my opinion. People will leave and form communities and those communities will gain a reputation just like Slashdot, Digg, Reddit, SlackNews, 4chan Neogaff etc did before them.

Hubski may be small, but the signal to noise level here is amazing. I'm here for the long haul.
