Lobste.rs article renaming

=> https://lobste.rs/s/suzv41/moderators_hn_please_stop_changing_post

Lots to unpack here.

Referencing users is done by prepending @, not /u/. This is not Reddit.

Removing tags probably increased visibility, by decreasing filters.

Likewise, removing “Bill Gates” probably helped too. This site is probably more anti-MS than neutral.

The renaming procedure is transparent, unlike on HN. Messaging mods on a weekend and not getting a response for over 8 hours is expected - these are volunteers.

The suggest button may have been used here, but the changes were so complex that the change was not noted as automatic. I would personally have suggested moving the date to the end.

Lastly it seems as if you are the user who submitted this content to Proggit:

=> https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/dn8r40.

A link there having a lot of upvotes is usually contra-indicative of a lot of upvotes and discussion here - they are different communities. Complaining about lack of upvotes is however considered bad form both here and there.
