    I think we may already be at the next oasis. It’s just the normal progression. People said similar things about AOL, MySpace, Friendster, LiveJournal, Delphi, CompuServe, etc. We’ll find new places to hang out. And then we’ll move on when they inevitably collapse.

      It’s starting to feel like an oasis to me. The comments are generally friendly and helpful. Every day seems to bring more interesting posts than the previous one. I’m trying to do my part by posting and commenting more than I did on Reddit. This is nice.

        Me too. I think part of why it’s so nice is it feels more free and relaxing because everyone else is nice too.

        Also, transparency about votes just feels more open and honest as well.
