HN is no longer the site you're looking for. It's no longer the site I'm looking for, either. That irritated me to an unreasonable degree for a while, but I just accept it for what it is now.

I find it's still a useful pointer to interesting links, but if I go into the comments it's knowing they'll be annoying. Align expectations with the reality and it's OK.

Really? Has Slashdot cycled back around to being as interesting as it was in the 90s?

Other than the Beta redesign, /. _the site_ has always been good. The content has been consistently interesting.

However, the _community_ has changed. I still read the headlines to get an idea of what is happening in the world, but the fine comments have been garbage from the moment Taco left.
