i'd wish i wouldn't have worried about now as much, and worried about the future

And another 20 years from then you'll wish you had worried less about the future and lived in the now.

I'm seeing a lot of reddit hate here, and a lot of the points are valid. However, I disagree that the structure of reddit - communities focused around a topic or theme - is a bad thing. A lot of amazing things have happened on reddit over the years, and a large part of it was because a group of like-minded people were able to come together around a common interest. I dislike facebook simply because it is too general: I never have confidence that people will be interested in what is on my mind. On reddit, I simply find the subreddit devoted to it and start a discussion there. The problem subs are mostly the ones that are too general - think "funny" or "pics". Unsubscribing from them mostly solves that problem.

I'm new here and I'm still uncertain how this kind of a structure will facilitate that. Where do I go if I want to discuss Nodejs? Or issues related to my city? Also, I feel like the biggest problems sites like reddit and hubski have to solve is the algorithm for determining the comment order users see. Will a comment be buried simply because it came late? Reddit does an OK job of dealing with it. How about hubski?

This is similar to the keurig DRM debacle. It's the worst of software law coming to the physical world. I never really got Richard Stallman's crusade until I started thinking about how outrageous the same legal framework would be when applied to physical goods.
