lobste.rs is almost entirely content marketing spam, and it actually has heavier censorship of non-spam than HN does; you can see this pretty easily by checking their mod log.
- s_y_n_t_a_x 6y agoThe fact that you can check their mod log makes me like them even more. I have a feeling HN would never publicize that information themselves.
- greenyoda 6y agoI just looked at their mod log. The last article removed by a moderator was deleted because it was "not about computing". I read the same article on HN, and it gave rise to some interesting discussion here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23437529 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23437529 Some of the most interesting discussions on HN are not directly related to computing, and they're one of the main reasons why I stick around HN (and would not be interested in moving to lobste.rs).
