The primer is a good place to start.

The basic premise of our moderation is that it is user-driven, rather than top-down. Of course, like all moderation it can be abused, but IMHO it's better when that abuse is limited to one user and his/her posts rather than across a topic/subcommunity. It does take some getting used to.

You started the #blackit tag, and it has a few followers already. All tags have a personalized version too: i.e. #blackit.MilitantNegro. People can follow #blackit to get all #blackit posts, or follow just #blackit.MilitantNegro, to get just your posts with the #blackit tag.

All tags (and users and domains) can be followed or filtered out, and filtering takes precedence. For example, if someone filtered me (mk) but followed #blackit, and then they wouldn't see any #blackit.mk posts.

Not all of the functionality is obvious. Feel free to ask folk, or PM or shoutout to me if you have questions or feedback. We are always working to improve this place and feedback always helps.

Hubski definitely isn't Reddit. Opinions on the differences vary, and often evolve the more familiar people get with this place. Welcome aboard. blackski? ;)

Blackski...blackski! It's so bloody obvious I can't actually understand how I didn't already think of it...

Thank you!
