Dan Lyke is right: Slashdot has become a joke. It isn’t just the commentary. I expect that when you get 100 people to comment on something, you’ll get an awful lot of chaff to a small amount of wheat. The real problem is just their choice of articles: thinly veiled product announcements, endless incitement to the defense of Linux/Open Source, endless bashing of Copyright Laws (except of course when they defend Linux/Open Source) and warmed over rehashes of news which is reported more capably elsewhere.

I’m joining Dan in delisting Slashdot from my weblog’s sidebar. I don’t think I’ll be replacing it with Dan’s candidate though…
