Why Lobste.rs Is Better Than Hacker News
I got an invite by just asking nicely on IRC with some details about myself.

I’ve declined to invite a number of “growth marketers”...

Why not ask some questions in the sign up form and make the process more straightforward instead of having users ask for invite in random places?

I'm personally not happy with the randomness of the chat invite system. I have some ideas on how to streamline it but I haven't had time to present them, and I lack the Ruby chops to actually contribute to the site's code.
