Gosh, this is my first post since 2008. I can't believe how time flies. Sometimes I think about Slashdot. Most of the time I don't though....but it was my go to site for many years when I was boredd.
Nowadays I hit Reddit when I am bored.
Wow! When did user ids get longer than 6 digits? That's craaaazzzzy!
I see reddit mentioned often on slashdot. Everytime I'm like "Since slashdotters mention it, it must be a very good tech site". And everytime I look, I'm immediately appaled, thinking I'm looking at 4chan. Here's what I currently saw at the frontpage of reddit:

Reddit's default homepage is horrible, I'm not going to beat around the bush about that... But when you sign up, and find subreddits you like, you can add them to/your/ frontpage, and usually, the most upvoted content (The stuff people like) from each of those subreddits gets aggregated onto your front page, meaning if you have made subscriptions according to your interests, it's/far/ more interesting than most sites.
The default subreddits are often there because of people that just want to quickly browse for a quick laugh or two, but if you are looking for more insigtful content, subreddits like/r/science (http://www.reddit.com/r/science/) look a lot more like/.'s homepage. You can edit your subreddits after you log in here: http://www.reddit.com/reddits/
