>It could be a messy thing to implement.

:( I hope not. I think that one of hubski's major strengths is the focus on tailoring your own experience yourself, letting it evolve naturally, instead of relying on moderators to curate a conveyor belt of content from a subreddit that inevitably devolves into groupthink and the lowest common denominator. You have control over your own feed, not some faceless moderator who's enforcing rules you may not understand or even care about.

I think hiding posts will be a major part of that. If you don't like something, it's a simple click to hide it and forget it exists. If you're hiding a ton of posts from a specific user, then it's probably a good idea to ignore that user. If you could fine tune it to the point of ignoring specific tags from specific users, well I think that would just be the cherry on top of the whole thing. Step back and watch the community weave itself together into thousands of little perfectly individualized hubs.
