Hello!

I literally just made my account like 10 minutes ago. I'm kind of just sick of the negativity on Reddit. They all talk like they want to be informed and educated, but then reject anything that doesn't fit their own opinions. Even when you give sources. What's worse is that I was also starting to act like the rest of them. All in all, Reddit was just not good for my mental health. Hubski looks nice, though! Really like that there is no downvoting.

Text surrounded by asterisks (*) is italicized.

Text surrounded by plus signs (+) is bolded.

Text surrounded by vertical bars (|) is quoted. If you double-click a paragraph, it will be quoted.

Text surrounded by tildes (~) is blocked out.

Symbols such as *, +, |, and ~ can be used literally by placed a \ in front of the text.

A user's name surrounded by at signs (@) links to their profile, and the user is notified that you mentioned them.

A word surrounded by hash signs (#) becomes a tag and links to posts with that tag.

Text after a blank line that is indented by two or more spaces is reproduced verbatim in a different font.

URLs become links. However, new users cannot post links in comments.

Hubski URLS become embedded cards, displaying information about the post or comment.

Text can link to URLs by using the following format: [linked text](http://theurl.com)

Youtube, Vimeo, Soundcloud, Twitter, and Spotify urls will embed the content automatically.

Image URLs (.png, .tif, .gif, and .jpg) will embed automatically.

I have been on for 4days, and I am liking it more and more. Things are conversational. If someone disagrees with you, they have to explain why they can't just hit a button.
