I agree -- but remember what you're not seeing. This week I've been in the midst of a really excellent pm discussion with wasoxygen, someone whose beliefs rarely dovetail with mine, to pick one example. I've been a part of other internet communities where I felt comfortable engaging other members in lengthy one-on-one chats, but never about such erudite subjects. Take away the dots and you get a better environment for discussion. Fact is, hubski is a thousand times better at this than anywhere else on the internet. Every once in a while I break out of my normal sports+music reddit use, comment seriously on something somewhere, and am inevitably reminded that no, it's not like hubski. Then I flee.
