- watwut 5y agoThe trouble is, such community requires payback. You need ot just take, you need to give. And often in ways you don't like giving or more then you like. It requires a lot more negotiation with more people, compromise about what we are used to be autonomous in and conformity. The strong individualism is not really compatible with that. On HN when these structures are talked about, it is always only in terms of essentially free labor from extended family.
