- Say Harvard established an official subreddit that they controlled completely, like a Facebook page, but without all the stifling rules and restrictions. Different from the unofficial /r/Harvard that's in the public domain of the controlling reddit community, this hypothetical edu reddit (/e/Harvard) could only gain access to you and your information if you granted it to them. For any educational institution, this would be a powerful tool that could revolutionize the entire admissions process. Communities built around existing institutional communities.
This is more along the lines of the use case I was thinking of. A little Hub you could subscribe to as a member of an org or group, which is administered to some degree (maybe just barely, or to varying degrees). Hubski would be providing a place for pre-existing IRL groups to gather.

I included a longer, more detailed version of these ideas in my manifesto when I sent hueypriest my résumé for the reddit Community Manager position. I didn't want the job or to have to move across country, but I knew I would be good at it. I was bored that day.
