It's needed... and it's also not going to be me who builds it! Word is that @peakd is working on some kind of variation of this. Which makes sense, since they have the best usability of any of our existing

Well, yes. Precisely that. This would be largely targeted at the content consumers who occasionally like to interact. They can have a while to do so easily and then those who decide the gig is cool enough

I was trying to think up something that addressed both the fact that we sincerely need more people (new faces) around here, while we don't want to just attract a bunch of riff-raff and deadwood. So let

The thing about usability is that it's easy for those who have used something for a really long time to develop a sort of cognitive myopia in which they sincerely believe that what they are creating is

Oh... that's our unelected leader? That's very disturbing...

Yes, well... I can relate to that. I just can't get bahind do a "so-so" job with things; I'd just as well not participate, at all. And I have often chosen that particular approach...

I agree... but sadly, "honest and open communication" seems to be the exception, rather than the rule. I guess we've been taught to feel ashamed of our authentic wants and desires, so we hide

And yet, here we are! Maybe my skepticism arises from the fact that it was always hammered into me that "there is no such thing as a free lunch," so the idea of being compensated — even in a

It's an interesting concept; and it is designed to dig around in your weaknesses... or perceived weaknesses... that may only be so because you've agreed to let yourself be told that they are, in fact,

I am not sure where you are reading your content @xplosive but I find lots of posts that have 10-15 comments generated by "real" human beings. But sure, I get my share of bot comments, as well.

Asking the right questions is always tricky, agreed. And just reaching the point where you know which ones they are... tend to be the "answer," in its own way. Hope your *"thing" goes

I'm in alignment with that. I prefer my comfort zone... within which I may be challenged, and many people mystified, and I can keep an appreciation for life. Of course, if I were in the business of selling

Ah yes, the vaccine side effects do seem to kick quick a few people in the butt; I haven't had it, but I know plenty who have and have struggled. It's funny — and sad — that we seem to live in a world

Thank you @ewkaw, appreciate the support!

Black sand tends to be a good sign. Last time we were out at the Pacific coast I came across a couple of "beach miners" who had their sluices set up and were collecting buckets of black sand

Aside from the fact that a lot of people flow into new projects purely to "profit from the excitement of a new thing," I'm guessing some people have been put off by recent POB "drama"

I believe the first downvote was cast when Øgg the caveman pounded his cavemate Bløgg over the head with a log after he tried to scratch the likeness of a penis on the cave wall. Millennia later... and

Some of your reasoning definitely rings true, and you touch on one of the issues I have with it all: Most people don't have "autonomous" accounts for each tribe they belong to... which creates

I've long thought this looks like a good way to be on the water. Haven't tried it, though; we live on the coast and the sea is usually with too many waves and wind to make it easy to stand up when you're
