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...
