Good evening Hubski! I'm a graduate student that recently finished my Master's degree in biostatistics and I'm currently waiting to start my PhD in statistics in the fall. I studied math as an undergraduate, and I'm a collector of hobbies. I love learning new things. That's my main hobby. Recently I've been thinking about how little I see on Reddit is actually interesting. I find myself doing the same thing I pick on my wife (only with her it's Twitter): endlessly scrolling through pages and pages of links. I'm tired of upvotes and downvotes and endless memes. I hope this place has a bit more of an in-depth discussion feel. I'm really hoping for a HackerNews-esque feel with a broader subject matter.

I think that is a pretty good description of what Hubski is. I would suggest that there's more artistry and collaboration thrown in there too. Hang in there MisterMentat, you'll find that these next few days will have a lot of "AskHubski" and "newtohubski" type posts, but when that dies down, and it will, we will get back to the business of discussing things other than hubski and reddit.
