Neat idea!

If I recall correctly, this was the same frustration that Lobsters[1] was created. In the case of Lobsters, moderation decision have carefully been considered and implemented.

My two cents is that it's when it comes to comments - and moderation - that things get challenging. It's also where both HN and Lobsters managed to find a (hopefully) sustainable model. Good luck with this!

The main reason lobsters isn’t very interesting to me is it tends to be a subset of HN.

I’d find it more interesting if it didn’t have the same posts.
