"I'd suggest everyone reading Pipedot to look at Soylent News for daily news and discussion."

I try, but Soylent makes it hard. It's just an ugly, big text, and poorly formatted site, with less usability and less information density than Pipedot or even EITHER version of Slashdot.

Yes, that's even after the "improvements" (which as far as I can tell consist of awkward "+" buttons to optionally expand the bad default threaded display).

I appreciate what they're trying to do from an ethical and communal perspective, but the current presentation and interface is just NOT good. If they would completely adopt Pipedot's front end and do away with their current horrible interface I would be SO happy. Obviously the feed there is jumping and the audience is a bit larger.

I don't know if Bryan and NC have discussed a real merge, but they should. :)
