Like, the site owners/employees/admins/mods are the only ones who choose what to post(and hopefully not extremely bias and a good spread of topics), but the users can still upvote/downvote the post as well as comment and all that?

I like the aggregation mark down style of these sites, but I am not sure about the curation being purely user based. I am curious if the users having a large majority control of the curation hurts the quality, and I’d like to see comparisons if they exist.

    There’s a bot that reposts HN content, but I’m not sure if it has its own community. And if it does, I don’t think there’s any restrictions on posting from users.

    Edit: There is !hackernews@derp.foo . It doesn’t limit users from posting though, but I don’t see anyone really posting other than the bot anyway.
