tags straight up don't work without enough people to codify what each one means and every time i use tags i feel like i'm shouting into the void

following people only works when there are enough people using the site enough to justify looking at the feed instead of just looking at global - there's what, like 10 posts a day?

hubski as of right now is a hangout spot for the stevegang and their friends plus a couple other people that's open to the internet at large instead of being like a mailing list on some server somewhere

nothing needs to change about hubski if the current track is the way you want things to be, first you need a ton more people to use the site

even like 50 new posters? a hundred?

maybe then it'll be worth it to change up the features, but not now, as of right now about half the features of the site could disappear and nothing would change about the way i use it - i use global chatter and /chat and between both of those things i catch near everything what's going on

the site is your baby so it's yours to do what you want with it but i think this is silly
