I stopped trying to participate on Slashdot in 2000, but never stopped reading the site entirely.

My issue was that while the place was great for informative posts on fairly objective topics like tech or science, it was pure groupthink for anything social or political. I felt completely unwelcome and alien to the clearly dominant demographic of the place.

If you don't think that's the case on HN, just look for a discussion about something that has anything at all to do with Elon Musk.

On scientific topics it's filled with totally clueless groupthinkers as well.
