I think you’re right. This is not a problem atm. With the exception of maybe #pubski I never have a situation where I am annoyed by the number of comments I have to weed through to get to someone I “follow.” mk, if I’m 100% honest I think the biggest problem with Hubski is that it lacks new users and new comments. We used to spend the time we now spend on other pursuits encouraging others to come to Hubski. Insane amounts of my time were put towards new users and retaining those that came. We don’t have that now. That, imo, is the biggest deficit. I don’t mean just any old person.. but many of the familiar faces here came from links that myself and others would drop on other sites to get them to kick the tires.

I don’t think it’s even worth implementing new functions such as this without also actively attempting to court new users.

I, like you, have no intention of ever monetizing Hubski and I love it here so fucking much. But it would benefit from some new users. Not thousands, not even hundreds but 5 new, active (Not lurkers) users a month. Seriously.

The site functions well. It needs people and new opinions. New functions won’t give the site energy. People will.
