What do you find on fluther, that you can't find anywhere else?

Asked by WillWorkForChocolate (23163points) January 12th, 2011

We all park our jellies here for a reason… what is it about fluther that keeps you here? What do you love so much about fluther that you haven’t found on other Q&A or social networking sites?

Mutual respect, advice and perspectives from a full range of people, no constraints of what you can ask. Freedom to be myself. Sounds corny but all this goes a long way.

Pffft I’m naked. What’s not to like? It’s frigg’n awesome!

Joker94's avatar

Great question! I would say it’s because of the level of tolerance and respect shown to eachother. Oh, and there are next to no trolls on here.

My good friend Lucille….I wish she would get back here soon so I could KHA! ;)

WillWorkForChocolate's avatar

@Cruiser Yes, I know. Are there any updates on how she’s doing?

Said it before, I’ll say it again – Fluther has an exceptional community. It is the people that drew me in and also what keeps me here.

Different perspectives to things I may have always thought one way about. I like getting my brain in a twist and having room to expand my own viewpoint based on new info and other people’s experiences.

I have found validation of many of my prior beliefs, and cause and incentive to modify others.

It’s full of interesting characters.

Coloma's avatar

I like the peeps, the questions, the intellectual stimulation/ interaction, but, mostly, girls just wanna have fun!

Talk about a big fat slice of the human pie. lol

Axemusica's avatar

Please exclude me when you’re inviting people over for pie @Coloma. haha :P

I just can’t think of anything else to do with my time. not!

The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

Even though I can’t handle the truth.

That’s a little extreme, but I would say that I’ve found a lot of honesty here, clever people…er…I mean jellies, and I love the absence of trolls.

@Coloma is making pies out of humans? A jelly ought to like that, but I’ll pass this time.

Coloma's avatar

Haha…yeah, well…my words definetly left room for play.

Mmm…pot pies!

@hawaii_jake

I need some Samoan spice ;-)

I still participate on several other Q & A sites, but I spend more time here because the questions and answers are better quality, for the most part.

AstroChuck's avatar

Cute little six-year-old boys.

Wait. That didn’t come out right.

Coloma's avatar

@AstroChuck
No. It did not!

Whats in your basement Chuckie? haha

AmWiser's avatar

I’m just plain ol’ nosey nosy. Damn how do you spell that word.

faye's avatar

I look at others sometimes if reference has been made on here and they seem unnecessarily complicated, Quora, for eg. Besides I’ve grown accustomed to the jellyface.

augustlan's avatar

It’s the great people, mostly.

I like the little pen symbol stating someone is crafting a response. Little things please little minds! Oh & i’m enthralled to be surrounded by yanks….circle the wagons :¬)

• Clear, quality-oriented guidelines
• Responsible moderation
• A light-hearted reward system that recognizes contributions while keeping the focus away from competition and accumulation for their own sake and discouraging gaming
• A good user interface
...all of which help to foster
• A strong sense of community that attracts great participants
and hence
• Warm-hearted, interesting, intelligent company

@Austinlad Awww. That’s so sweet. :D

Coloma's avatar

@augustlan

Time to change your name to ‘Harpleslad’. ;-)

harple's avatar

@Austinlad Aw, shucks!!!

@Coloma Ha ha, now THERE’s a thought! We all love him just as he is though, I wouldn’t want to change a thing :-)

I find on Fluther that I can be myself without others having preconceived ideas of me, and that goes a long way.

Coloma's avatar

@harple

Amen, on both counts! ;-)

Coloma's avatar

Oops, just caught my typo…but @harple got it! lol

Austinlad's avatar

I am one lucky buckaroo !!!

faye's avatar

Get a room! Oh, wait, you are going to get a room, and a whole life together!

Berserker's avatar

I like how this place isn’t bullshit galore like most Q&A sites. The subjects to explore and the paths to take certainly go out of the box, and you can learn stuff, too.

WillWorkForChocolate's avatar

@Symbeline This is true! Fluther taught me that there is a really hot girl who collects spatulas. I don’t think I would have found that anywhere else.
