   Nobody trolled it before the HN FrontPage. Whatever it is, if something hit the crowd, you will end up with people trolling. No matter how much moderation you add. You can check it now and things are much calmer and friendlier. The same if

   Oh noo, thanks to mention it! It was working recently. I'll fix it asap. Regarding the name, I'm exploring other ideas, but that's not hard.

   Yeah, there is kicking and ban features. As well as forbidden words. But I'm also adding more moderation functionalities. Feel free to send me an email with more ideas :D Nevertheless, in general, the sites using TownSquare are much mu

   Sorry! I wasn't present because the post went to the FrontPage while I was at Rock in Rio. Two days of shows, going to sleep at 5 am. The original post didn't get to the FrontPage, but just later it got bumped.

   Most of it were bots programmed to be saying silly things. I have already implemented some better counter-actions to that. This are much calmer now that the HN post is not on front page anymore.

    That's also coming! It's already in the roadmap since the beginning. I'll add some of those props myself, but I'm working on a plugin architecture so people can add their own stuff.

    Actually, there was. But I haven't added all of them to the landing page. I wasn't expecing making HN front page :sweat (opooops) But there is already some basic moderation and ban/kick functionalities. However, there is stil

    Yeah, but don't lat the HN crowd spoil the thing. You can check the other sites that are using Hackernews and you might have a great experience! I've been chatting with a lot of people with similar interest and had a lot of very n

    When you go to a nice website and encounter people with similar interests reading the same thing, the experience is awesome!

    Actually, there is moderation. The problem is that the page came to HN before I added the moderation keywords or implemented more things :P But overall, it's possible. On the details like benches and trees, you can also customize it. Y

    Well, this is the behaviour of the crowd. Before HN, or even if you go to other websites that are using TownSquare, it can be quite fun. A hade a lot of very funny and meaningful interaction with people visiting the sites

    “The internet is dead” feels emotionally true if you only look at algorithmic feeds full of AI sludge and engagement bait. But I think that’s mistaking the loudest layer of the web for the whole thing. The internet isn’t dead, the human par

    What’s wild about Step-3.5-Flash isn’t just the quality, it’s how close it is to fitting on personal hardware. The int4 weights are ~110GB. That sounds insane, but 128GB unified memory machines already exist, and people are running it today

    One thing I’m still unsure about is whether faster building (LLMs, vibe-coding) actually helps surface direction faster or just makes it easier to avoid stopping and reflecting. Curious how others experience this.
