Facebook killed the radio star. And by radio star, I mean the premise of distributed forums around the internet. And that got got by Instagram/SnapChat. And that got got by TikTok. Where the fuck is the internet we once knew?

Slashdot or Digg?

Alright, I have to go with Slashdot because the Digg community as a whole is pretty bad- I'd rate it only a couple of levels above YouTube.

For insightfulness, funniness, and informativeness of its community, Slashdot has me.  Plus their feeds aren't filled with crap I don't care about.  Less is more sometimes.
I tend to edit my topics and replies frequently.

Both are cesspools as it stands right now. I only visit Slashdot because it has a few articles I might not otherwise see.. digg, on the other hand, is useless. Myspace4nerds.

I like Slashdot myself. I find the stories are generally better written, I can know what the article is all about in 20 seconds, and can decide whether or not I care.

Digg, much more entertaining and less rabid fanboy posts. Plus I'm way into the election and half the front page articles are pro-Obama.
One must ask oneself: "do I will trolling to become a universal law?" And then when one realizes "yes, I do will it to be such," one feels completely justified.

I do believe that you entirely know my stance upon this issue.

While you have a point with your first sentence, it totally is negated by your second sentence which only proves you're a hypocrite because it implies that you like Digg because its community is full of a bunch of Obama fanboys.

Is there even a such thing as a Hillary/McCain fanboy..? Look at their demographics, I don't think they'd have articles up regardless.
Plus, Digg is user submitted and user voted on content. There's a difference between that, and content regularly posted and known to have a specific slant towards a set of ideals.

It's perfectly possible for Hillary or McCain "fanboys"(Again, do they even exist?) to get front paged. It's kind of hard to be biased all by yourself.

I'm impressed at A/C using a proxy and not revealing his ip!

Who wants to play the "who was this?" guessing game?
