Maybe two stop bits news https://twostopbits.com/news source: https://github.com/jgrahamc/twostopbits

There are forks of what I assume is the scrubbed HN codebase, e.g. https://github.com/jgrahamc/twostopbits

Well, I run a retro-computing web site (https://twostopbits.com/) based on the Hacker News Arc code (https://github.com/jgrahamc/twostopbits) and the site makes me neither feel young or old. And not even particularly nostalgic. I mostly remember things I had great fun with a long time ago and it's fun to read about them again. I do like the preservation part of retro computing and helping keep things working, but even that is partly just personal satisfaction of making something work (again). For example: https://blog.jgc.org/2023/12/restoration-of-ibm-thinkpad-701...

Yes, https://github.com/jgrahamc/twostopbits

Not really. I had a harder time implementing new functionality (e.g. Two Stop Bits allows tags to be associated with a story: https://twostopbits.com/tags). In the past I'd done a bunch of Common Lisp stuff so was just a question of remembering that and dealing with the Arc syntax. My fork and enhancements are here: https://github.com/jgrahamc/twostopbits

There are moderation tools. I can do things like kill a story, ban a domain, ban a user, alter the score on a story, mark a story as dead, lock a story so no one else can edit it, see how many sock puppets voted for the story, edit any aspect of a story. I modified the default source to have a concept of tags on a story because I wanted people to be able to filter stories by their areas of interest (e.g. everything Commodore 64: https://twostopbits.com/tag?q=c64). All my changes are open and here: https://github.com/jgrahamc/twostopbits
