Almost two years ago, a browsing lurker wrote a list of seven changes he'd like to see on Hubski to make it more like reddit. As you can imagine, the community had something to say about that. In particular, mknod. Here are his comments repurposed as a poem:

---

Welcome to Hubski

Anyway just hang out, have fun

Post things, lurk, message people

Talk about your childhood, share some nostalgia

Make up some poetry, listen to hip hop

Watch comedy videos, keep up with the news

Take a nap, take 10 naps

Feel guilty, then eat pancakes

Create tags, follow tags, unfollow tags

Follow people, unfollow people

Shift your brain, be wrong, be right, unshift your brain

Do you like sports?

Take lots of chances, never drive safely if you find yourself alone

Tell me about your day, make up a story, help someone make up their story

Take a trip, do things you wouldn't normally do

Put yourself in another person's shoes

Listen to jazz, write some comedy, create some drama

Do 12 push-ups but tell everyone you did 50

Wander around your town and look for hubski stickers

Put some hubski stickers around your town

Make friends, make enemies to help you realize who your friends are

Make friends with your enemies

Throw away everything you ever knew and pretend it's your first time hearing it

Listen to a record your dad used to listen to

Make yourself heard

Make yourself quiet

Get out of bed

Read more, watch more TV, play more video games, watch more movies

Have an uncomfortable conversation

Drink in irc

Pretend you are fancy

Welcome to Hubski.

*I'm finding that I enjoy poems that are lists, especially this recent one called "How to be Perfect".

mknod:

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww Thanks lil I appreciate the shoutout and I hope this helped someone write something they are proud of. Or something they are ashamed of.

I just got back from a big trip, so I am going to start hanging around again!
