Title: I never left slashdot. I just stopped going there. HN was a big part of that. I wanted my tech news to be thought provoking, funny and innocent. I had plenty of sources for &quot;real world&quot; news and I wanted tech to be an island away from that.<p>Slashdot became more about the legal issues surrounding technology than about technology. It had a militant, fanatical vibe that soured the taste of its brilliant gems.<p>HN is starting to feel like a place where activists hang out. The topics are certainly important and worth discussing - but the tone takes away from the lightness and fun of technology. It&#x27;s like eating cheese and drinking orange juice at the same time. The two are good on their own, but they don&#x27;t go well together.
