Here’s an idea. Let’s try to bring back positivity to the Bubble Community. The Bubble Community used to be strong and have a lot of supporters of positivity. We would snuff out all the negativity quickly and keep it positive. What happened to those OG Bubble Devs out there that would help manage the positivity on the Bubble Forum? I’m sure even this positive post will have negative remarks, but let’s not keep that from us staying positive out there.
There is a lot of negative stuff happening in the world right now. Let’s not let it seep into the Bubble Community as well.
Keep it positive everyone! It can only help build the community stronger.
Yeah, it’s definitley a different feeling now than before. As long as we can try to stay active and engaged while still being positive. That would be awesome.
All these “I’m leaving Bubble” posts feel like when a friend announces on Facebook that they’re taking a break from social media. Good for you, I guess? See ya in a few months when you quietly come back?
Meanwhile we’ve doubled down on Bubble and even bumped up our dedicated server’s hardware specs on the Enterprise plan a few times and we still feel like we’re getting a pretty good deal for the money.
I am encouraged by all the ongoing development work the Bubble team does on their product, and I am excited to see where AI companion building tools like BuildPrint take us to accelerate even faster.
I’m all for keeping things respectful. No one needs personal attacks or constant pile-ons.
But the forum shouldn’t just be “stay positive no matter what.” The point is to talk honestly about what’s working, what’s broken, what to watch out for, and whether Bubble’s claims match what builders are actually seeing.
There’s a difference between negativity and honest criticism.
If Bubble ships something rough, or claims it has a usable AI agent, people should be able to say what they think. That’s not anti-Bubble. That’s the forum doing its job.
That matters even more now, with a lot of experienced people gone or quieter. There are newer builders here, small agencies, and founders with real money on the line. They need honest feedback, not just cheerleading.
“Being positive” isn’t automatically a virtue. It depends. It’s good when it keeps a conversation from getting ugly. It’s bad when it pressures people to ignore real problems or stay quiet.
If the only acceptable response is “stay positive,” Bubble doesn’t pay the price. The little guy does. The newer builder / small agency / founder with real money on the line. Those are the people who need honest feedback most.
Blind positivity helps nobody. Pretty quickly it just turns into Kool-Aid drinking.
You may consider my reply a negative remark, but I don’t see it that way. Honest pushback isn’t negativity.
I think whole political correctness, echo chamber, let’s be positive type of stuff is by nature negative, of course I am not saying we should not appreciate.
It can only help build the community stronger.
