I really like the way Lobsters works. It allows very interesting discussions without flaming or useless posts. However, it's also the reason why I can't join them, unfortunately. It'd be a joy to participate in such a community!

Judging by your comment history, I can't spot a reason not to risk sending an invitation. My email address is in my profile, ping me if you're interested.

Why can't you join them?

They are invite only.

does anyone have an invite for my for lobste.rs would be great, don't get why it's a closed community.

I actually bookmarked your post on vi mode in bash a couple of months ago. That'll do as proof you're worthy. :-) My email address is listed in my profile. Ping me for an invite.
