Fascinating.

I've always taken an odd pride in the phenomenon of Hubski posts that had an extensive conversation but weren't widely shared. To me, I feel it is evidence that people are thoughtful about the specific mix of posts that they make available to their followers, but that they are more than willing to get involved in discussions on topics that fall outside of this curation. It's a subtle and concientious type of interaction, I think.

Personally, I am usually happier to see a comment rather than a share. Sometimes those three-Hubskier threads with dozens of comments feel like a good conversation at the cafe. Other people are around, but the discussion is still intimate.

Hm. That's helped me to better define 'Hubski discussions' in my mind.

Also, I think I would define my own 'Hubski loneliness' as sharing without discussion.

Thanks, lil. Have a safe trip!
