I did not want my comment to appear on emcad's mirrored website, so I'll just add a very brief comment here in a new post. Anyone who hasn't seen the original post can check the tag #longformtrolling creatively added by someone, not me.
Clearly hubski isn't for everyone. The saddest part of many sad people is that they cannot see their own contribution to their sadness. It's much easier to blame others for misrepresenting themselves (??), than to critically examine how they might have contributed to their own disappointment. Perhaps they had expectations that were unrealistic. Perhaps they had not looked hard enough or deep enough for thoughtfulness. It must be the fault of the website that one's needs aren't met - right? How could it possibly be my fault?
One goes to a website to meet various needs: information, thoughtful discussion, laughter, friendship, insight. If one's needs aren't met, then the website is not for you.
Or if you see something in the community that you like, you can contribute over a long time to develop that relationship. Nothing is instant. Some people are intrigued and lurk for a long time before seeing how they can contribute.
I find the hubskiverse so fucking thoughtful, that I don't have time to read or share or express everything that I would like to.
Bravo hubski. And bravo to Team Hubski for sharing. Y'all are so cool.
