Gregory's ServerI think this formulation matches my own sense of why some things feel weird and others don't, and I'm really interested in pinning down what it is about some implementations that produce that impression.

 @kissane for me it is indeed the lack of linkbacks, the content is presented as being part of that platform, not part of a group of sites sharing a platform  @anniegreens Thank you! The person representing Maven here said that the lack of linkbacks is unintentional, which makes me wonder about the effects of encountering half-built things.

Another POV I like a lot from Robert Gehl, who did a whole blog post: |
