We are working on a better solution, only part of which is rules changes.

Some of those other upcoming changes are going to be quite significant, undoubtedly dramatic and, as is the case when even the smallest change occurs, controversial.

We will still endeavor to balance the needs and expectations of the heritage users as well as new users to the site.

Further, Affiant Sayeth Not.

Thanks, Dragon Lady. And I agree with all that you said.

IF Twitter or "insert name of competition here" is kicking one's butt, taking customers or eyeballs or whatever away then BUILD A BETTER NEW SOLUTION.....NOT freaking copy and "try" (NEVER will work !!) to become them, what the H ????

Entire MBA level case studies (Harvard, etc) exist on how this DOES NOT WORK !! You need to invent a BETTER mousetrap, gizmo, user experience whatever....NOT try and be a slightly "different clone" of said newly appeared competition that is suddenly eating one's lunch or inhibiting growth, etc !!

Absolutely. Why try to imitate Twitter? Twitter is... going through some things. As everyone knows, Elon Musk seems to feel people should be able to attack and even dox each other in the name of "free speech". That is idiotic and immature. And it isn't working. Twitter's lost tons of users, and has made formatting errors that make it much more difficult to find topics that interest you.

Why should IHub want to be like that? What it needs is genuinely new IDEAS. And simply letting people call each other "morons" is not really an "idea".
