I personally really like Lobsters, and various Reddit forums having to do with Linux/Unix, free/open source software, programming, etc. (though I'm not a big fan of Reddit).

    HN still has good content posted there, even tho the quality of moderation is incredibly bad. Personally, I only follow it through the hackernewsletter. All postings linked are >1week old, and for me that's a good thing because it removes the impulse to answer.

    BTW, if anyone has a spare Lobster invite, I'd be grateful if someone could give me one. I'm reluctant to go through the IRC invite, it's not really something I use or like using.

    I also use Lobster.rs, and occasionally I check in with some bookmarked threads on the old Something Awful forums just to see some more opinions of people who are employed in the tech industry.

      Do you know where one can obtain an invitation? I lurk but would love to occasionally engage on a point that is relevant to me or when I have something interesting to add. No pressure or anything :)
