One difference between communicating via hubski and face to face, is awareness. If users do not share articles or follow people, there's no way to know that they exist. By contrast, in a flesh and blood situation, if a person is quiet, they might be gently invited to contribute or encouraged to espouse an opinion. We do have the shoutout feature where if we surround a username with @'s the target user will then be alerted, but again, you can't do that to users you are unaware of.
