Hi, welcome, I usually just lurk here as opposed to most users who actively participate but sometimes I comment if I find something interesting. Where have you read some drama? Do you mean meta-drama like on reddit? FuzzyWords goes back to the shadows
Hey, just an FYI that the overwhelming majority of Hubskiers are lurkers.
Question to non-lurkers: How long do you take to write a comment/post? I've given up writing so many posts, because it's like 40 minutes of dedication just to write a short post sometimes. I find that there are phases where I just think and write with no perfection, and I post a lot more. Maybe these phases are when I'm feeling social, rather than constructive? I tend to be a perfectionist with 'constructive' things.
It depends on the post type, but a good response easily takes half an hour to an hour of iterating. That's mostly because I want it to be honest, be logical, have correct grammar and also sound right. That said, an imperfect comment is almost always better than no post. I only delete drafts when I can't communicate my thoughts properly or when I don't have my facts straight.
That certainly depends on the post or comment. Most of the time if I comment it doesn't take long at all. I am likely espousing one of my own beliefs that I thought about in the past. Or I'm speaking from experience and don't really have to do any research. However, there are times when I have to do research and it takes Longer. I use talk to text for most of my comments these days via my iPhone. It saves me time. It's amazing how little I'm using my lap top these days.
Yes. If you go to a site where there's absolutely no drama, it's very likely that there's a lot of censorship since that's the only way to eliminate all drama. I wouldn't like a place like that because I wouldn't want to conform to the level of censorship. It would mean that expressing yourself in conflict is forbidden. If the site has only drama, it's likely the site is flaming out. That's not happening here, from what I can tell. For my preference, a small amount of drama is healthy for a site. That's what I see here.
