mk forwardslash can address the open sourceness. Yes. It would. However, we are only 4 people with day jobs and families and our list of bugs / features / and todos is infinite. In terms of priorities at the moment, making search better and releasing an API are above collapsable comments and infinite scroll. You can check out #suggestions and #bugski and post specific things in those tags as well. Yes. You can big features via the user hubski and smaller releases or things we are testing out are usually posted by mk or forwardslash. I can say that not a single day goes by where the team is not actively working on one thing or another. Even when we are on vacation, like two of us were last week. If you stick around, you'll see how rapidly things change and improve over here. You can read the full post on how Hubski handles moderation here: We do not moderate posts as that is handled automatically by the community. I have only deleted 3 comments in cases where the comment is blatantly and shameless spam—comments posted by a bot with traditional markup or html. We are Hubski users foremost (we cannot delete comments from our hubski accounts - my hubski looks just like yours) and do not wish to take on any responsibility as a moderator. I know it diverges from what you are used to but, so far, it works. Let us know if you have any other questions. cc thenewgreenWouldn't it be possible to make toggle switches to turn each of these features on/off in the settings menu?
Is hubski still being actively worked on?
Does this mean that hubski has no moderation? An admin has no way to delete or hide, or rather moderate content they disagree with?
Hello, thank you for the information. 1) That's certainly understandable. We've all(or most of us) have lives outside the internet. I'm glad to hear hubski is still being developed and I hope to see the features(and maybe others) developed natively into hubski. I hope you guys(or gals?) don't let it drag on for years like reddit does toward RES. 2) I'm heading to check out the hubsi moderation next. My main concern was really with as hubski grows more and the userbase gets more and more diverse that the admin(moderators) of hubski can't control the content just because they personally don't like something. I think many new users here including myself would be very interested in the moderation of hubski. I just don't want conversations to be posted but secretly hidden behind marketers and the like or for the posts here to be moderated to suit one persons interest. I haven't looked everywhere yet but maybe you can tell me. Does hubski have or plan to have a public log showing what has been deleted regarding posts that says why such and such was deleted, or is there a global feature for the admins(mods) to mute a user or rather in reddit terms shadow ban a user? If so, is there a public log of who/why? Basically, my questions are in regards to transparency. How transparent is hubski ?
We do not currently have a public log, mostly because it is not necessary. We do not ban users and it is only under the very, very rare occasion that we delete comments. We do not delete posts. There is no banning on hubski. There is no shadow banning. It does not exist. Think of hubski like Twitter rather than Reddit. There can be separate groups existing in all the corners. I don't see what you see and you don't see what I see. It doesn't matter if there is content that I don't like on Hubski because I do not see it. I can filter the user, tag or domain. I can unfollow the user, tag or domain. Everyone decides what they want to see and no one should or does have control over what everyone sees. The only thing that happens on a global level is the global-ignore functionality. It's an algorithm that is automatically triggered when a user has been ignored by a certain number of users and a couple of other factors (to prevent people with dissenting opinions from getting globally-ignored - it's really just there to block out the spam). All it does is remove the users' posts from the [global feed](https://hubski.com/global?id=Bleu &time=all). The posts still exist, and any followers of that user will see their content, as you can see here: spam. If you hang out on the global feed a lot, you will see the spam come and go. New users appear, they eventually get globally ignored, and then they are gone. Spammers tend to disappear when they do not have an audience, not that the audience hubski delivers is large (relatively to say, reddit) right now anyways. Ideally, we would like Hubski to be able to operate without moderation and so far it works. Our tools (like global ignore and muting) have evolved when it became necessary to have such features. Thus, we were better equipped to deal with the problem because we were able to specifically prevent certain things (like spam being in your feed) from happening. That said, if there comes a time when we are deleting or banning users, we will open up a transparency log. I don't foresee that time coming anytime soon. Some other items regarding transparency that may interest you can be found below:Does hubski have or plan to have a public log showing what has been deleted regarding posts that says why such and such was deleted, or is there a global feature for the admins(mods) to mute a user or rather in reddit terms shadow ban a user?
