While I don’t read any comment on Hacker News, I’m really pleased by the quality of exchanges on lobste.rs, also in private messages.

It seems that the invite-only mechanism and strong moderation to keep stuff on topic is working well. Thank you lobsterians…

PS: yes, I can invite you if you ask nicely and send me an email address. I can also invite you on the smaller and cozier tilde.news (where I would like to see more discussions).

@ploum interesting - I had never noticed that it's an invitation-only site, having only browsed the comments.
I'd be interested in an invitation, please, if you're sure you wouldn't mind. I can be reached via knirirr@knirirr.com

@ploum I’d love to give that a try. I promise I’ll be both friendly and thoughtful. I miss the days of cordial internet discussion. I was brought up on Slashdot rep scores.

hello (at) kevinmcphillips.ca

Thank you!

@ploum I've been enjoying reading lobste.rs, but I don't have an account yet. I would be very grateful if you could share an invite (I'll dm my email). I have not heard of tilde.news before, I'll check it out too.
