I think the "core" of users is something that scales fairly well with the way Hubski is structured around people instead of around topics. Social networks of like minds scale well—but social networks around topics do not. A popular topic leads to giga-threads, hivemind, and a tendency to lurk. Whereas self-organisation around like-minded people leads to a different set of behaviours entirely—one that is inherently less intimidating.

Certain sets of rulesets afford certain kinds of behaviour.

I would point out that I think we have a lot of lurkers here on Hubski, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

I can confirm that.
