I love you, Hacker News, but you’re toxic

I've read the lobste.rs moderation log for a while and i think its a bad platform. pushcx bans first and considers second, there were several times users complained about it in the irc channel.

I remember the time when the poster of the (at that moment) no. 1 post got banned for self-promotion, because it was a link to their own blog.

The dataswamp domain ban also was a disgrace that looked like pushcx had no skin and a bad day.

Oh, I thought it was just me - I was looking at the moderation log and thought to myself "is it just me, or is pushcx being awfully aggressive with the banhammer? nah, I probably just aren't seeing the really awful posts..."

Although, you have to give him credit for a few well-justified bans from figures sometimes seen here on HN...

That's like praising someone who threw out the baby with the bathwater to give him credit on an outstanding work filtering water of any residue.
