Same. I was sorry to abandon Slashdot because I really admired the complex user-generated moderation system and its multiple meta-moderation levels. Over time, though, it produced too many +5s for comments that didn’t deserve it and I wasn’t able to set my filters correctly. HN doesn’t produce better comments but it’s easier to skim the ones I don’t want to read. Since PG disabled displayed upvotes it’s been even easier to skim as well as enjoy reading without worrying I’m investing time into a mediocre comment.
