There is an active group of slashdot refugees on Usenet at comp.misc .

You can read usenet through an account at eternal-september.org or aioe.org and then use a news reader like Thunderbird or Pan .

Alternatively you can get there through Google Groups or, if you want an interface which resembles Slashdot, through s'qute .

Here's an article about the /. refugees on Usenet.

I seem to remember that, (many?) years ago, /. itself was mirrored on Usenet. Maybe it even had its own hierarchy, I'm not sure.
