Background
- Lobste.rs is a news-aggregation and discussion site for the tech community, similar to Hacker News but smaller, invite-only, and focused specifically on computer science, programming, and software engineering (no startup news, no politics).
- A "Lobste.rs comment" refers to the threaded discussions that appear under each story link. The site prides itself on high-quality, technical, and often deeply knowledgeable comments — hence a user asking the community to share classic or memorable examples.
- This is a meta-discussion (a post about the site itself), common on Lobste.rs and Hacker News alike: users periodically collect and highlight the best comments they've seen, serving as a sort of community-curated canon of good arguments, jokes, technical insights, or explanations.
