Doesn't anyone say 'slashdotted' anymore?

Slashdot's become too corporate, it doesn't deserve the verbizing. It is a sad thing though, that was a fun era.

It's just "verbing"

Their user base has been drifting rightward for a long time. On my last few visits years ago, the place was just a cess-pit of incels spoutting right wing taking points in every post. It kind of made me sick how far they dropped. I can only imagine they have gotten worse since then.

That seems to be the life-cycle of social forums online. The successful ones usually seem to have at least a slightly left-leaning user base, which inevitably attracts trolls/right-wingers/supremacists/etc. The trolls don't have much fun talking to each other, as they are insufferable people to begin with. It seems like a natural progression for them to seek out people they disagree with, since they have nothing else/better to do. Gab and the like are just the "safe spaces" they constantly berate everyone else for having (which they hate extra hard since their bullshit isn't accepted in those places)
