I quite like Lobste.rs - yes it is is a ghost town. I dont have a login as know no one on it. But it less reddit that maybe modern day Hacker news can be.

Would be less of a ghost town if they allowed sign ups rather than via invitation only.

Appreciate that's kinda the point of the site, but if it's a ghost town then it's clearly petered out.

No version numbers in the Gemfile? That's brave.

I feel versions in Gemfile tend to make things harder to update and often end up accidentally retaining some old version. You won't get a random version bump unless you do `bundle update` anyway, since you have a lock file.

Unless you really need a specific version, let those gems be free :)

Ghost town? It's active and growing!

It still seems about the same as it has been for years from an outside perspective

It's pretty ghostly for a site that's been around since 2012

Quantity may have a quality all its own in warfare but for comments having the invite tree and accountability is pretty nice!

I'd rather have (2) really insightful comments than 300 trying to promote themselves.

A wet dream of anyone looking for a method to perform a supply chain attack.

I read HN for the links, because of the quantity, and lobste.rs for the comments, because of the quality.
