I only read slashdot firehose

Many of the most interesting stories never make it past firehose, and the discussion on slashdot itself is rarely interesting to me. The moderation system on slashdot produces results that seem to border on the bizarre. Sophomoric jokes routinely get high ratings while posts with real information or an important clarification get buried in the noise. In rare instances, I'll go to the main slashdot page, but I'm usually disappointed."
