Ask HN: Invite to lobste.rs?

2 pointsjunto3 comments

To get an account someone off the list needs to invite you, yet I don't think I know anyone there: https://lobste.rs/u/

Does anyone have an account on the site that would like to invite me?

My HN comment history should hopefully show that I am not an insane troll.

Why do you want an invite? It seems to me that it's HN for people banned from HN.

I wanted an invite as well but it's comparatively quiet there. Don't see the point of an account there.

It's not just for people who are banned from HN. Most who get banned from HN would not get an invite.

A glance at the front page shows it to be generally quieter and much more technically oriented. HN is now much broader - look at the front page and only half the items are actually technical, and probably less than half are, to quote PG's aim, "deeply interesting."

Also, Lobste.rs has tags, which increases its relevance substantially.

I want an invitation
