miniblog.

Only ~15% of the stories on HN are interesting to me. It's a little higher on lobste.rs and subject-specific subreddits, but still <50%. Is it worth building an ML based RSS reader/aggregator? This seems like a classic classification problem, but I worry about filter bubbles.

Interesting consequence of lobste.rs accounts requiring a referral from another user: you can identify voting rings!

lobste.rs have a public log of moderation actions: https://lobste.rs/moderations . Admirable transparency and accountability!
