HN is about to overtake Slashdot.

Honestly, I'm a little surprised Slashdot is still as popular as it is. I quit using it in 2006 and have only rarely heard about it since. On the other hand, I guess HN is somewhat a niche site.

I stopped recently. I find the news are always late due to moderation, and there are just way too many 3-5 Funny than I'd like.

Plus I believe anything you can find there, also has been posted here.

Over the years my social news time has stayed around constant but has been split like this:

- slashdot

- slashdot < reddit

- slashdot < reddit < hn

- slashdot < reddit < quora < hn

With quora maybe a contender to overtake hn but probably not. I still check slashdot ever few weeks, reddit every week or so, and quora and hn multiple times per week.

Have other people followed similar trends?

I moved away from slashdot about 3 or 4 years ago.

For, it went: digg->reddit->HN.

I check HN+Reddit a few times a day.

As a hackernews convert from slashdot from last week, I'm happy to be a statistic.

I'm surprised that it hasn't overshot Digg...
