- Lobsters is a computing-focused community centered around link aggregation - and discussion, launched on July 3rd, 2012. - The administrator is Peter Bhat Harkins ("pushcx"), contact him with any support issues. - Lobsters was created by joshua stein - with careful design touches to encourage a healthy community: -

- - - -

Tags and Topicality

-

- When links or stories are submitted, they must be tagged by the submitter from a list of predefined tags. - Users can choose to filter out or - subscribe to all submissions with particular tags (example: programming.rss) - or combinations of tags (example: programming,audio.rss). - All users see all stories by default. - The tagging system works this way for three reasons: -

- - - -

- Creating new tags and retiring old tags is done by the community by submitting, discussing, and voting on meta-tagged requests about them, - and these events are logged (since 2018-04). - To propose a tag, post a meta thread with the name and description. - Explain the scope, list existing stories that should have been tagged, make a case for why people would want to specifically filter it out, and justify the increased complexity for submitters and mods. -

- -
-

- Lobsters is focused pretty narrowly on computing; tags like art don't imply every piece of art is on-topic. - Some rules of thumb for great stories to submit: Will this improve the reader's next program? Will it deepen their understanding of their last program? Will it be more interesting in five or ten years? -

- -

- Some things that are off-topic here but popular on larger, similar sites: - entrepreneurship, management, news about companies that employ a lot of programmers, - investing, world events, anthropology, self-help, personal productivity systems, - last-resort customer service requests via public shaming, - "I wanted to see what this site's amazing users think about this off-topic thing", - and - defining the single morally correct economic and political system for the entire world when we can't even settle tabs vs. spaces. -

-
- -

Invitation Tree

-

- The full <%= link_to 'user tree', users_tree_path %> is public and each user's profile - shows who invited them. This provides some degree of accountability and - helps identify voting rings. -

- -

- Invitations are used as a mechanism for spam-control, - to slow registrations to a pace we can acculturate (more below) - and to encourage users to be nice, not to make the Lobsters userbase an elite club. - Users are considered "new" for their first <%= User::NEW_USER_DAYS %> days, - and their usernames appear in green. - New users can't - send invites, - submit links to domains we haven't seen submitted before, - flag stories and comments, - suggest edits to story titles and tags, - resubmit links that have been seen before, - or - use tags for meta discussions or that are prone to off-topic stories - (<% Tag.not_permitted_for_new_users.pluck(:tag).map { |t| %><%= link_to t, tag_path(t) %> <%- } %>). - -

- -

- The quickest way to receive an invitation is to talk to someone you <%= link_to 'recognize from the site', users_tree_path %>. - If you wrote a link that was posted, please reach out in chat, we'd love to have you join the discussion. - Finally, if you can't find anyone you know in the invitation tree and didn't author something posted to the site, - <% if Rails.application.allow_invitation_requests? %> - you can request an invite. - <% else %> - consider getting to know the community in the chat room. - <% end %> -

- -

- There's no limit on how many invitations a user can send (though we might at some point, to manage growth). - There's also no official vetting process for new users, each user is responsible for inviting people they believe will contribute positively to Lobsters. - When accounts are banned for spam, sockpuppeting, or other abuse, - moderators will consider disabling their inviter's ability to send invitations or, rarely, also ban them. -

- -

Ranking

-

- All story and comment ranking on this site comes from user activity. - All users have equal votes, with no special priorities or penalties for specific users or domains. - Moderators have no ability to raise or lower the rankings of stories or comments (besides voting like any user). - Per-tag hotness modifiers affect all stories with - those tags, but these modifiers (and changes to them) are public. - Domains used for marketing analytics are banned and tracking parameters are removed from links - (look for TRACKING_DOMAINS and utm_ in story.rb). -

- -
-

- Users can flag stories and comments when there's a serious problem that needs moderator attention; two flags are needed to add the story or comment to the moderation queue. - Users must reach <%= User::MIN_KARMA_TO_FLAG %> karma to flag. - To guide usage and head off distracting meta conversations ("Why was this flagged!?", etc), flagging requires selecting from a preset list of reasons. -

- -

- For stories, these are: - "Off-topic" for stories that are not about computing; - "Already Posted" for duplicate submissions and links that elaborate on or responses to a thread that's less than a week old (see merging); and - "Broken Link" for links that 404, 500, or present a paywall; - "Spam" for links that promote a commercial service. -

- -

- For comments, these are: - "Off-topic" for drifting into meta or topics that aren't related to the story; - "Me-too" when a comment doesn't add new information, typically a single sentence of appreciation, agreement, or humor; - "Troll" for derailing conversations into classic arguments, well-intentioned or not; - "Unkind" when uncharitable, insulting, or dismissive; - and - "Spam" for promoting commercial services. -

-
- -

- Less than 1% of stories or comments get flagged, and users are not automatically punished by flags. - Users whose stories or comments are getting flagged significantly more often are strongly encouraged to talk to mods about what's not working. - (Please don't use flagging to try to push down topics or people you don't like; click "hide" on the story and move on rather than clutter up the mod dashboard with false alarms.) -

- -

Transparency Policy

-

- All moderator actions on this site are visible to - everyone and the identities of those moderators are <%= link_to 'public', moderators_path %>. - While the individual actions of a moderator may cause debate, there should be no question about if an action happened or who is responsible. -

- -

- If users are disruptive enough to warrant banning, they will be banned - absolutely, given notice of their banning, and their disabled user profile - will indicate which moderator banned them and why. - There will be no shadow banning or other secret moderation actions. -

- -

- The source code to this site and - its provisioning and deployment are - made available under a 3-clause BSD license for viewing, auditing, forking, or contributing to. - The codebase is used to run a dozen or so sister sites (that we know of) and we keep a list; - please get in touch if you've launched one. -

- -

- The Lobsters community is in a sweet spot that it's large enough to be worth asking questions about and small enough the answers make sense. - We have some basic stats available, - and Peter is happy to run queries against the database and Rails/MySQL/nginx logs (but not write them for you), - as long as they don't reveal personal info like IPs, browsing, and voting or create “worst-of” leaderboards celebrating most-flagged users/comments/stories. -

- -

- If you dislike the content or moderation policies here, you may prefer - Y Combinator News, - r/programming, - Slashdot, - Tilde News, or - comp.*. - Or you could use our codebase to start your own site. -

- An official real-time discussion channel is available to members and guests - of the site, hosted on the - Libera.Chat IRC network - in #lobsters. - This channel was originally - created by - @kristof on freenode, and - stayed with the network on 2021-05-19 after that domain was lost. - @pushcx, - @355e3b (c355e3b on IRC), and - @aleph (Church on IRC) are channel operators. -

chat
+ tildeverse irc network here
+ webchat here -

- To participate in the discussion, join the - #lobsters channel on - irc.libera.chat with an IRC client. -

- -

- The policies and ideals of the discussion channel are the same as the website; quality content and conversing, respect for other users, and no spamming. - Slightly off-topic discussion is generally acceptable, but we're still not open to discussion of electoral politics and policies. - The channel isn't busy enough that there's always someone talking, so don't be surprised if you try to start a conversation and no one responds. - Leave it open and you'll see activity, though we're most active during US work hours. -

- -

- If you want an invite to the site, it's best to hang out and chat until people get to know you. - They'll likely ask you for a link to your homepage or a public profile to feel confident that you're not a spammer. - If you ask for an invite immediately on joining, expect people will be a lot more skeptical. -

- -

- If you are the author of or otherwise involved with a story that was submitted to the site, ask and someone can send you an invite. - We've unfortunately had problems with impersonation, so it helps a lot if you point out how your email address is linked to the story. -

- -

- The channel has a bot named - mockturtle. - It announces new stories submitted to the site and provides other useful features like showing the page title of URLs mentioned in the channel. -

- -

- If you'd like a cloak to note that you've contributed to - Lobsters development - or just for privacy as a regular user, contact a channel operator for a - lobsters/developer/username or lobsters/user/username - cloak. -

- -

- For a feed of stories without discussion, mockturtle also posts new stories in #lobsters-feed. -

- -

- Lobsters used to have a channel called #lobsters-boil for off-topic conversations (especially American politics) that "boiled over" from the main channel. - It was useful in the wake of some big events, but the mods didn't want to run it indefinitely. - Community members independently run ##crustaceans subject to their own policies, if you're looking for more off-topic discussion. -
