I actually said that your review sucks, which imo is pretty different. Didn't mean it as a personal attack or anything. If your argument relies on the premise that your opponents are simply too stupid to know what they're talking about then yeah, I'm pretty sure you're arguing in bad faith. I'm honestly not that interested in engaging beyond this point.

I'll give you this though: your screes do have a lot of entertainment value.

How about some actual discussion and arguments beyond "this sux" ?

So far, you're just starting shit with no explanation - don't see why anyone would engage. It's also not twitter - you're allowed to write more than 150 characters if you actually have anything constructive to say.

My guess is that it's a sock puppet of someone already on the site who has a bone to pick. Seems too personal to just be a pop in.

I'm probably wrong. I base that solely on the "Ah, this must be the famously friendly discourse of Hubski" comment. Who the hell has heard of this place who isn't already here?

I actually deliberately don't mention this place on subs like /redditalternatives. I don't want more of them here LOL.

That said, I'm not sure we're famous for our friendly discourse? I would be skeptical of that claim anyway. Everyone seems to agree we're rough around the edges and maybe just as rough as we were 5 years ago. A comment which I've considered and I am willing to accept. I remember many times telling people who made posts about how they didn't like hubski, that they should just leave. And that was when I thought it was in its heyday.

That said I also kind of suspected this guy might be an alt. But who knows. My sister speculated that our home state was "hiding something" from us because she didn't see new COVID data posted for the past 4 days. Turns out she was looking in the wrong place.

I think most conspiracy theories go like that.
