It seems like most people have given up on the idea of community, sharing, and collective action, and prefer to take pills or other substances against the resulting depression/anxiety/loneliness.
Many comments here confirm this attitude, where what they see in spaces is reduced to "shared access to tools". Nobody wants to put in the effort just to have the majority be leeches.
- Kalium 3y agoSpeaking only for myself, it's very hard to find people who treat community, sharing, and collective action as things to engage with regularly rather than as a way to get access to tools for cheap. It can be exceptionally stressful and anxiety-inducing to manage shared resources under those conditions. It should not be a surprise that some people prefer to not deal with the idea of hackerspace-as-community and seek their community elsewhere.
