Yes, it's called lobste.rs. Yet they started suffering from the same 'too sensitive SF crowd lenses', where they see the world with their very narrow view and anything that's not in their narrow space - will be of course downvoted. I kinda miss old groups where you would be able to read "not so popular" comments, without damaging your eyes due to them being greyed out, or without a need to select it to see the text. HN crowd is very specific, in a bad way.

If you click on the timestamp of a downvoted comment, it should go to a page where the text is fully readable. Yes it's an extra hop, but that's a small price to pay for an immune system.

Lobste.rs is a club where the bouncers are extremely selective over who is allowed to come in and partake, only to find most tables are empty.
