    I tried reddit -- the cat pic to content ratio was ridiculously high maybe 10/1. I like cats and all, have a bunch myself, but there's youtube for that type of content.

    I also tried reddit a while back. The lack of a moderation system made it very hard to wade through the nonsense, trolls, and general self-righteous anger in the comments.

    /r/netsec [reddit.com] has a pretty good signal to noise ratio, and appears mostly used by network security professionals. As far as tech news goes, that's about the extent of my use of reddit.
