You are one of the most insufferable people on the internet. I am severely disappointed, coming here from reddit, to find you here whining. "You - like everyone else negative - thinks I'm saying "fuck newbies" when in fact I'm saying..."
... " awkward period where they demand boons and circlejerk each other" No, I think you're pretty much saying "fuck newbies". Please go back to reddit. You have 20+ subs to mod and I'm sure you can keep your superiority complex fed without poisoning hubski. This is my first hubski comment :)
Go back to Reddit? Dude's been here for 3+ years. He and mk have a long history of sparring over site features. It's not personal, and they get along pretty well. Context is lost when you just read this one comment. Context matters, and it's lost on new members; I think that's a large part of the gripe to begin with.
Yes. That's exactly right. So many users land here and expect to just drop in. It's like approaching a group of people at a party who are already chatting. Observe the social graces: introduce yourself, shake hands, listen and THEN try to participate.Context matters, and it's lost on new members; I think that's a large part of the gripe to begin with.
