You make a joke of it but there's truth lurking there - what's the impetus for engaging with the site?

I just checked. I'm 7 of the last 30 posts that I can see and I've been busy this week. What do I get from sharing? What risks do I run? Why post shit here rather than Facebook? Why post shit here rather than Medium? Why post shit here rather than Reddit?

I post here because there is a core group of people whose opinions I'm curious about. I presume that core group will attract like-minded people. It's not really anymore, it did occasionally. And I think that's key: if you get into a fight here, it's with someone whose opinion you care about a whole lot more than someone on Reddit. The engagement is a great deal higher even as the activity is much lower.

With basically all other websites I don't feel like starting a new account would mean all that much. Maybe annoying to have to manually follow people, but that's it.

With hubski I feel like it would mean something.

I dont think we’ve interacted much but I think I remember when you first joined the site.. apparently in the same year that I did. Good to see ya around!
