A handful of users left because the environment for them was too toxic, too negative, however you want to put it. It happened more or less right in front of all of us, but for the most part we didn't really notice until it was too late. I'm not strictly sure if everything went down on husbki alone, but certainly part of it did.

Here's a snippet of the dramski, but it seemed to have been all over the place.

Fuck. 8bit and minimumwage? That's upsetting.

I don't know if I can blame them. Sometimes being on the Internet gets my blood boiling as well. One of the reasons I've taken a break from the site the last few days is that I felt I was posting a little too much and having a few too many sticky discussions.

Yeah. Maybe they're going to start playing piano, or learn Go, instead of spending time trying to correct idiots on the internet, but for those of us that are here to wind down and write/read a little bit in a civil and thoughtful place, it's a loss. Hubski is a cool place, but fuck me if the internet doesn't have some serious problems.

Yep, it does have it's problems. Nothing ventured, nothing gained, right?

Ignore the idiots anyway. They're just wasting their own time. Don't let them have yours too.
