Question posed in a prog group on Facebook:
Do you know Debaser.it? What do you think?
The three responses received:
- Good site for a few laughs... but otherwise a realm of discomfort.
- I’ve dealt with them... they’re a cage of crazies. If you make a mistake or write something they don’t like, they come down on you hard, they offend you, etc. I wrote two reviews and was stoned to death. I obviously left. Those who were there years ago were serious, then the site almost fell apart and was taken over by a bunch of slackers. I keep my distance from it like the bubonic plague. If you like risk... (And to think it used to be a reputable site years ago...)
- I disagree. I find a lot of recommendations from which I then extract readings, views, or listens. Yes, there’s a hyper-polemic attitude, it’s true. But the cost-benefit ratio remains positive.
