Slashdot(still alive ๐Ÿ˜ƒ)

Define, "alive." I pretty much considered it dead after Rob Malda left.

Okay, somewhat alive and on crutches. ๐Ÿ˜“

There are still some rare yet ephemeral sparks of good insights left dwelling and lurking over there.

During the reddit blackout I almost automatically/unconsciously went back there to see what's up like I used to back then.
