Interesting to compare this site and lobste.rs for that

Both from safety and volume perspectives, I’d imagine. Openness has value.

Yes Lobste.rs is great but much more limited in conversational scope. I don’t think the content on each site is directly comparable. The sites are not equal in audience and intention. For example, Lobste.rs doesn’t allow rampant evangelism or want to attract start-ups and thus doesn’t attract a more “spammy” crowd.

Lobste.rs has an invite based system however.
