Kuro5hin.org is a collaborative site about technology and culture, both separately and in their interactions.

Kuro5hin.org is a community of people who like to think. This is a site for people who want to discuss the world they live in. It's a site for people who are on the ground in the modern world, and who sometimes look around and wonder what they have wrought.

It's also a site for people who need a laugh now and then.

Kuro5hin relies on its readers - it exists for you and through you. This site has an open submission queue. Any user can submit and vote on stories. If you want to see something posted, you can make it happen by participating in the moderation of the stories in the submission queue.

Garbage will not be tolerated. Others can and will rate your posts into oblivion. Mojo is our system designed to facilitate this community filtering. We have no intention of trying to stifle anyone’s free expression and legitimate arguments (no matter how much we might personally dislike them).

We hope most of you agree that this is the only way to keep a site usable and worthwhile, and that (as Bruce Perens put it) what we need is more “Freedom” and less “FreeDumb.”

Now go read, think, and post. And be sure to tell your friends. ;-)
