Dark Lord Seth's Journal: Slashdot alternatives?

Seriously, my patience has a limit and after this article, Slashdot just crossed that limit. I dont want to deal with Hemos' sad sense of humour. Coupled with the fact that the site still fails to render properly on mozilla from time to time, still has a broken and blatantly abused moderating system along with retarded and incompetent admins, I wish to know if there are any sites like Slashdot just without the retarded admins.

Thank you in advance,

Fort KNox is coding up a slashdot alternative as we speak.

Alternatives

Well, there's always Fark or TotalFark [fark.com], but the people there seem to want to flame more than have rational discussion, and not much of anything tech related is posted on the front page.

Dotproject [dotproject.org] isn't really all that active, but posts articles more relating to Windows/Linux Software than anything else.

Freshnews [freshnews.org] is kind of like the Fark of the tech world. It takes articles from Slashdot, C|Net, and other websites and offers the links up. I don't think the community interaction is quite as large, though.

Not exactly on the lines of slashdot, but...

You can give a try to NewsForge [newsforge.org] (again, an OSDN site) for news, or kuro5hin [kuro5hin.org] for community discussions. Beware that kuro5hin does not always take up technical discussions, though you may also find even compiler related discussions there.

It'll suck to see you go, dude. Keep me posted on where you are next. Slashdot's treated you like shit as I've seen, and that sucks.

Too bad I can't help with a search for an alternative.

Bruce Perens' Technocrat.net

[Richard M. Nixon]

I've heard a bit of talk about Bruce Perens' [slashdot.org] Technocrat.net [technocrat.net]. He describes it as being like slashdot but more technically oriented, and without anonymous cowards.

The criticisms of it is that it is using a much older version of slashcode. The journalling system is supposidly very primitive, and you can't fried/foe someone unless they've written in their Journal.

I haven't checked it out yet myself. I probably will soon. It would be nice to go without the ACs, but I really like the friend, and even more th
