Hacker News Reader

I'm surprised that hacker news didn't get mentioned (okay, I'm glad they didn't mention it).

IMHO, this moderation system is the best (or maybe a close tie with slashdot)...trolly posts don't disappear, they just get lighter and lighter until they all-but disappear. All it takes after that is a highlight and you can read it.

I like that feature a lot, but I'm sometimes tempted to do CTR-A, just to see what others have "censored". Must...resist...

HN doesn't play the same game, so it's not fair to compare with it. It's very deliberately trying to stay small, or at least smallish, which solves a lot of the problems that plague other communities. It's also actively trying to limit the submissions to certain criteria, which helps too.
