Well, that’s a new one. What you see if you visit it via Brave Browser.
Personally, I think it’s great. It’s a smaller community than HN and the registration requirements, whilst not a perfect solution, do create a litmus test and ultimately creates an envrionment of mostly high quality posting.
To get in, you need to be invited in by an existing user. If you don’t know anybody, you can hang around on their IRC channel and once you’re familiar, somebody may be willing to invite you.
What is HN?
I’m this context it’s Hackernews
If you want to keep your sanity avoid the orange site at al costs. At least don’t read the comments. Keep living without knowing and you’ll be happier.
Why do you say this? I find it civil and interesting
Same. It’s part of my daily routine.
Right! It’s very enjoyable even for not techies. I even shared it with my mom because it’s like reddit but only interesting articles
We have Lobste.rs at home
Lobster.rs at home !lobsters@lemmy.bestiver.se
lol, does it just post the same stuff as there or what?
Yes

Calling HN a privacy nightmare is pretty wild. But sure, let’s dilute the term even further until it loses all meaning. Websites that are truly privacy nightmares will be delighted.
Seriously. HN doesn’t even actually need JS to read it. And it’s certainly not filled with trackers by any means. Might as well call Lemmy a privacy nightmare.
