And yes, aware of Lobste.rs mod logs, but Lobste.rs is basically dead compared to HN — largely because it’s an HN clone.
- ElCheapo 4y agoThis is a website where people post links and other people comment below them. Most front page discussions don't surpass 50 replies. I don't really think we should care so much about this place to the point that we're willing to employ state of the art data analysis tools just to read a blog post and see if someone has critiqued it in the comments

- dinkledunk 4y agoYes, it is. And if you feel that way, that's fine. Why gatekeep?

My outsider opinion is that lobsters is dead because the sign up process is designed to keep people out. I appreciate there's also the network effect of people coming here because people come here, but I for sure would visit lobsters too if I could participate without having to know a friend to get past the velvet rope
