Almost the same here, I like Slashdot as much as HN for the content they bring to me and yes, the maturity (something very important on the web).
However, i can't get myself around their interface, i don't understand it/don't like it, i feel like their lacking a designer or something... in comparison with HN.
So, I spend less time on it, and didn't create an account or anything, eventhough i'd like to...their UI just doesn't feel right.
- Slashdot has the best moderation to show you the best posts.
- Reddit has best conversation because the red envelope tells you of replies.
- Hacker News has the best audience.
If these were combined into one site it would be hella cool, but unless HN evolves the tech I can tell you what site I won't expect to be around many years from now. Blacklisting unsavory contributors and deleting posts is only going to work to maintain standards for so long.
