#12> invite only Unkindness of the Crow. Not even my local, most elitist hackerspace requires an introduction and, apparently, ideally a dossier. I'll pass.

#13Looks cool but it's another one of those exclusive invite-only communities.
Re: Crow Watch: A Hacker News Alternative
#14what's the difference from lobste.rs?
I was a lobster user for 7y. but i find it now way to big, and moderation is strange sometimes. I think, having an additional community is nice. No need to concentrate everybody in one or two website. And there are multiple communities already! I thought I can build one with not such restrictive self-promo rules as on lobster.

this is why i think having different communities is a nice thing.
And you want more of that? Does not compute, for me

it's just that most of the self promotion going on over here is ai slop nowadays (oh you vibe coded an app? the whole "point" of it is that anyone can do it, so your vibecoded thing is completely uninteresting). And you want more of that? Does not compute, for me
