Message me? Hells no. I can't even believe myself that anyone listens to me around here :) The best thing to do, IMO, is just post a suggestion as a submittal which will typically generate some conversation around the issue. Pros and cons and what-not. You can also shoutout to thenewgreen, mk, b_b, and insomniasexx. They sit at the cool lunch table together.

Ok, let me get this straight: who are the mods/admins here?

b_b  ·  4076 days ago  ·  link  ·  

No mods. Admins are above list plus forwardslash.

Let's see how thenewgreen answers this one, because I'm not even sure what a mod is exactly.

b_b covered it. You, the user are the moderators of your own experience. You can follow and unfollow people, tags, and domains. You can also ignore tags and people that you would rather not be included in your feed. Beyond that, you can mute users that you'd rather not have see/comment on your own posts.

I hope that helps coloicito. Feel free to "shout out" to myself, insomniasexx or b_b for any future questions. Probably best to let mk and forwardslash focus on site maintenance right now.

I'm bouncing around on planes all day, but I will be sure to get back to you or anyone else when able. Welcome to Hubski!

This is slightly off-topic (it's actually a question), but, a few days ago I submitted a link to reddit about a demonstration where 10%~ of the total population of the island went to (100k~ ). Also, there's an "end-less" teachers strike going on too, with a "resistance box" (to cover what those teachers loose for going on a strike) that already has 300k€ + a Miro painting (10k). It was absolutely ignored by reddit (+2), probably because it happened in a rather-stranded island that barely anyone in the US knows (Mallorca, Spain).

IMO it's a big deal (you don't see the 10% of the total population of a region going to a single demonstration too often, it would be like seeing 837M~ in NY) as well as demonstrating how a society can unite towards a single end (the 300K~€ in that "box" + the Miro painting [donated by one of Miro's heirs]), so it was weird to see reddit ignoring it.

I guess it would be okay to post it here (if I can get google to translate it to english, goddamnit!), right? (tags being... #news and #eupolitics, maybe?)

It's OK to post whatever you want (you know, anything legal and non-abusive). There's no need to ask permission to use a tag.

I meant if those would be the right tags for that history rather thank asking permission to use them.

Yeah. What he said.
