A better HN than HN in some ways. Much better S:N ratio, less groupthink. But, much much quieter, and irksome posting restrictions.
You needed an invite last I checked which explains the quietness part.
You do need an invite. I see this as a feature - not a bug.
It massively cuts down on spam. And also makes removing spammers much easier due to the fact that it is not just invite only - it also has a public invite tree. So a spammer cannot just make 100s invites for sock puppets. They are trivially eliminated as well.

I don't have anything against it. It's just one of the reasons for being quieter.
