#107about:blank Get off your computer. Go outside. Read a fucking book.
Wasn't that a little unnecessarily hostile to a stranger you know nothing about?
That's when it's most satisfying, when you don't know them and they can't see you. Think of all the times you've been flipped off by someone in a car because you moved a fraction of a second too slowly; those people must really like flipping people off.

The alternative Slashdot movement has gained steam in the past week or so:

Good news for me: I improved from a 4 digit slashdot id# to a three digit number on the new site. :/

does anyone have an invite for my for lobste.rs would be great, don't get why it's a closed community.
... don't get why it's a closed community. I believe the idea is that people get in by invitation; if a member ends up being a problem (i.e. gets down-voted too often or something) then not only are they booted but so is the person who invited them. This being the case, people need to exercise some care before sending an invite since that person's behavior will be reflected back on them. It's an interesting approach…
> then not only are they booted but so is the person who invited them.
I understand why this was put in place there but that's the reason I don't really invite others. I have no way of knowing whether he or she will be down-voted.
Still, it's better to get kicked out and know that, than being shadow-banned and not knowing what attracted that.
