One of the things that bugs me the most about Hubski is its insular, good-ole-boy network feel. There's very much a "I'm here because I'm a friend of a friend" vibe and too often for comfort conflicts are resolved by intermediation between a mutual acquaintance.

For a while, the biggest influx Hubski had was the Circlejerkers following me over for lulz, but the architecture didn't really suit them so they either settled down or left. It left that "good old boy" structure in place.

Getting in a bunch of people who don't know each other, who don't inherently like each other, who don't have history with each other is definitely going to change the character of discussions. However, it also means that shitheads from Detroit aren't going to get up in my grille just because I'm not a shithead from Detroit.

And I'm all for that.
