Even though I mostly lurk here, I find the invite-only nature of lobste.rs very off-putting. I'm not sure why.

- quacker 12y agoI'm rarely fond of exclusionary policies. And look at the results: although the signal/noise ratio might be higher over there, there are hardly any comments. On the front page, I count 17 of 25 posts with zero comments. Plus, there's so much content overlap with HN (and certain subreddits) that I see myself getting very little value out of chasing down an invitation.
