Interesting take. I never tried to register on lobsters and never used slashdot too. But it is ironic you mention it. I tried to register and I got that

But to be honest I don't know about registration practices of either of them.

That's an interesting development with Slashdot, one that I was not aware of, but even so, I feel that unlike with Lobsters, you will not be asked by Slashdot for approval from a preexisting Slashdot member. I guess this is what throwaway Google accounts are for.
