Lobsters

Same. I like how it demonstrably raises the average quality of content and discussions, like can be observed on lobste.rs. It seems like moderation would be almost trivial with the way they have an invite tree. lobste.rs is a bit strict, which isn't necessarily bad, but their moderation strategy probably wouldn't be ideal for more casual communities. Still, if accounts were invite-only and had to be vouched for by a user offering them an invite at risk of their account, it would severely limit the ability for bad actors to participate.
