Anybody on [Lobste.rs](https://lobste.rs/)? I’ve been a lurker for a while, I find it to be a lot more curated and healthy (from a community perspective) than the orange site (HackerNews… not Kirupa).

It reminds me a bit of Hacker News. I haven’t heard of it before, but I do like the really simple look. No frills - just takes me straight to the content.

I think it is totally inspired by HN. The main difference being membership is invite only which restricts the spam, also it seems to skew away from the brohype of HN.

Not impressed, for example this thread  
[https://lobste.rs/s/kflxi5/east\_river\_source\_control](https://lobste.rs/s/kflxi5/east_river_source_control)

Someone should have referenced this, big missed opportunity. 😄
