HI @ryanccollins! I never saw your comment until now, so apologies for taking so long to respond. I must have turned off all my notifications. I'll take a look and maybe tweak them so if someone ever comments on my stuff, which I rarely publish or emails me somehow I'll get a notification in the future. Thank you for indirectly educating me on my settings config. :)) Regarding your question I'm not quite sure I recall now as it's months later (and I've clearly not been here since then), but re-reading it now and I think it was because it's social here. I don't need a programmer focused area that is social or has lots of content. Medium serves that need handily and even then I'm trending more towards the FreeCodeCamp discourse forum lately and thinking it's social enough for me there. It's just that Hashnode isn't great or best at anything. Sure it looks clean and that's always nice, but so is Medium, so is FCCs discourse forum, which is very beautiful for a forum I think and then there is StackExchange. You see if I just want to read and read for nothing but pleasure, then I can go to Medium, if I want to learn or socialize and learn, then I got to FCC and if I want a problem solved I got to StackExchange and put up with some seriously prickish people, but I get an answer in the end and that's what matters to me. So you see for me HashNode is just a place to waste time. If I'm going to waste time I'd rather spend it with my girlfriend, friends or meeting a group of fellow nerds (I like to corrupt that lofty label by middling it with my auto-inclusion) and hack on for fun. Where do you see it fitting in? Does it actually deliver something better in some form? Or is it a facebook for other devs; which is my sort of standing simplification of the site.
