I would like to caution those recruiting new members under these circumstances, however.

A lot of the people looking to get out of reddit at the moment seem to be the types who really love to hate. I'm not really trying to tell anyone what to do here, but I think it's important to think about the kind of people you all, as users of Hubski, want to populate this site.

If you all are fine with those types of people inhabiting this space, more power to you, invite away. I just think that it matters under which context people are led to Hubski, myself.

Couldn't agree more, hence the use of the words interesting and good fit.

...and Beatles :)

I'm looking to get out of reddit. Have been for a while. I don't care for the hate subs at all, but I can't stand biased moderation. It's what made me leave gamefaqs, it's what made me leave myspace, and it's what's making me leave reddit.

Can't say I'll stick around hubski. Not really my type of people. But it's a nice enough space here that makes me want to keep coming back.

Invite "your kind of people". Ideally, Hubski would end up having many pockets of varied communities. Use the infrastructure and make it yours. Nothing would make us on the Hubski team happier than to have many varied communities with different interests that occasionally overlap. That would be AWESOME.

The problem is getting them to migrate from their current communities. While I like hubski, I don't think other people necessarily will. I actually run across this problem quite often. I'm pretty much the black sheep in almost every scenario.

100% agreed. That's always seemed a far more sensible and stable result than the monolithic communities that most sites tend to end up with.
