I actually opened slashdot.org, first time in like 10 years, probably. Still there...

I checked in there a few months ago and regretted it. It's like while I'm now ten years older, it stayed the same age (well, those commenting).
Same, but I'm now 20 years older.
Almost the same for me. It's for sure 10 years ago, but when I do the calculation, it's 20. :'(
I go there on occasion. It's really sad to see how far it's fallen. It has all of the news stories that were posted elsewhere, just a day or so later. And none of the discussion. It's more like k5 right before it went blooey.
Agree. I've been on Slashdot for decades and used to love it.

Now I realize I can't stand it unless I don't read the comments. Sort of an anti-HN :|

10ish years ago I scraped a sample of their posts and you could see a notable declining trend in volume that projected out to 0 in the 2020s. I'd be expecting them to shut down any year now.
I had loads of +5 Funny comments there about 20 years ago. Hard to believe, I know.
