Hi lunboks, boqeh, CortezVee, joekam, desolateone. Welcome. You are now officially my fellow hubbies :) The question of Reddit's declining quality is a discussion that pops up occasionally on Hubski. Here is one that comes to mind. I'm one of the few that was introduced to aggregators through Hubski itself and have since learned about Reddit so I'm a bit of rare bird. IMHO, Hubski seems to benefit from a world already filled with trolls (like on Reddit). We are aware of them and know their game. There have been a few roll through these halls, but they've gone by without much of a splash because I think people here know to not feed them. And for sure, being a smallish community helps with the cause too. But I'd like to think that, for now, if the content can remain respectable then it will cast a wider net of goodness. Shit that sounds optimistic doesn't it? For my money though, the best tool in the Hubski arsenal is the ignore user feature. I have a feeling that as the site grows it'll be widely incorporated among users.
