I can definitely relate. Reddit and various sites like it has made people harsh and fast to criticize others so quickly that it turns most people cynical just like them. Another problem is that there are so many users on the site that there's just not enough chances to be heard. Unless you have a VERY popular opinion and/or very fast on the posting, you'll likely be ignored, downvoted, and usually both.

I admire the positive feel and crowd of Hubski. Looks like I'll be here for a while!
