I've spent the last long week in Hong Kong. While I was there I managed to read _refugee_'s post on reposts and the better angels of our nature before my phone completely died. It, and kleinbl00's post in particular has been running around my head since. Especially this part:
It fueled a worry every content creator must have at some time. What if I don't know what the hell I'm talking about? People voting because 'here, have an upvote'. How could I achieve that which is praised here so often, that state of thoughtfullness? So I responded to bl00's post. But as he noted, it's now buried in a week old post and it's a topic that deserves more discussion. As late to the party as the sunrise.
How can you be thoughtful? It's a question that should be central to hubski's functioning, as much of the decisions and discussions are about promoting thoughtful, interesting posts. Yet what that is seems undefined, no more than a feeling comprised of keywords like interesting and inspiring. Kleinbl00 noted that it's about gaining perspective, which is a great approach but I doubt that it's the only way or opinion on this matter. What are your thoughts, hubski?
