I appreciate this too. Comically, I used it for many years before finally signing up so I could get voting and saving and whatnot.

I think it’s become more precious to me as one of the few remnants of what really excited me about the internet many years ago and is my last active community as all the others have fallen away - slashdot, kuro5hin, plastic, netslaves, fuckedcompany, digg, fark, Reddit and probably a few others I forget.

Well, there will always be garbage on any site, the most important thing is not to let nonsense be the main focus of the site. If good threads top the front page most of the time I consider it a win.

Yup, whats I'm saying is that's because there's a small community that does through new and upvotes good content
